Why Choose Canada for Your Startup
For most tech startups, the road to success starts with the creation and launch of a robust app. Many of Canada’s best and brightest startups, including FunnelCake and Smile.io, operate through apps. How does a startup on a shoestring budget develop a unique and dynamic app that can quickly scale up as its audience blossoms?
Cloud-based app building platforms, such as Heroku and Force.com from Salesforce, allow business owners to quickly and effectively build polished, scalable apps even if they don’t have extensive design and programming backgrounds.
Scaling with Technology
Every startup faces the same fundamental challenge: getting to market before resources dry up. Money is tight, talent is stretched thin, and competitors race furiously for their piece of the market. Even great ideas can flounder if a startup doesn’t rely on a strong backend that quickly scales as the product hits the market.
Salesforce isn’t just able to help Canadian entrepreneurs develop, launch, and manage their app. Its comprehensive, cloud-based platforms can help a startup run like a polished tech giant (even if it’s currently a two-person operation working fast and dreaming big out of a parent’s garage).
