Startup Tracking Service
CAIN's Startup Tracking Service provides real-time insights into the progress of startups within our network of Business Accelerators and Incubators (BAIs). Using advanced analytics, this tool helps stakeholders monitor growth, track key metrics, and identify trends, enabling data-driven decisions that support the success and scalability of Canadian startups.

Business Accelerator + Incubator Performance Measurement Framework (BAI PMF)
CAIN is collaborating with ISED on the Business Accelerator and Incubator Performance Measurement Survey to gather critical data on the impact and effectiveness of BAIs across Canada. This project aims to establish a comprehensive framework for evaluating BAI performance, helping to enhance their programs and better support startups in the innovation ecosystem.
The framework's findings reveal that BAIs play a crucial role in supporting startups, with key outcomes including improved business growth, increased access to funding, and enhanced innovation capabilities. The PMF also highlights areas for improvement, such as the need for standardized performance metrics and better data collection practices. These insights are helping to shape future strategies for BAIs to maximize their contributions to Canada's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
