Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Boast AI Full time

Each year, significant funds are allocated by the US and Canadian governments for R&D tax incentives and innovation grants to support businesses. However, the application process can be complex, often leading to challenging audits, and the disbursement of funds may take over a year.

At Boast AI, we are revolutionizing the landscape of tax credit recovery through the power of artificial intelligence, enabling companies to secure more funding, more efficiently, with reduced risk.

Our mission is to empower innovative businesses to thrive. Beyond our product offerings, we have cultivated a non-profit community of over 90,000 innovators known as Traction, where leaders from rapidly growing companies such as Google, Shopify, Twilio, GitHub, and Cloudflare share insights through weekly webinars, regular meetups, and conferences.

With $123 million USD in funding and features in leading publications like TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Fox Business, and Forbes, we are recognized as a significant player in our field.

Join us in our mission to support innovators in making a global impact.
