Why CABHI
The Scientific Officer Program – Researchers from scientific networks and partner organizations are matched with CABHI’s innovators and companies through the Scientific Officer (SO) Program. Researchers provide scientific advice and expertise to CABHI-supported innovators to enhance the rigour of validation trials to help innovators refine their value proposition.
Community of Practice – CABHI served as a founding member in the emerging Community of Practice (CoP) amongst Ontario-funded research and innovation organizations. CABHI plans to play a similarly active and engaged role in the CoP, providing staffing resources, infrastructure (e.g., physical space, the interactive Leap platform, design thinking and Knowledge Mobilization services, etc.) to ensure the greatest possible success and impact from the group. CABHI expects new partnerships to emerge from the CoP, and also plans to share learnings and best practices with groups beyond the CoP.

What Our Companies Say about CABHI
KEN DEERING
CEO, iGuard Home Solutions
“CABHI’s investment provided foundational funding that enabled us to kick-off our next-generation product development. CABHI went beyond what we could have expected by making an introduction to the Ontario Brain Institute that led OBI to provide matching funding. CABHI’s investment and reputation assisted iGuard in securing a cohort position at a large US agetech accelerator. Lastly, CABHI not only says they are startup-centric, but they lived up to that in their interactions with iGuard.”
RACHEL BARTHOLOMEW
CEO & Founder, Hyivy
“The MC2 program from CAHBI came at an important time for Hyivy at a stage where we were ramping up manufacturing, regulatory, clinical trials, and growing our company. They have provided connections, resources, advice, and a handful of opportunities to help us continue on the path of success”
VINEET JOHNSON
Founder & CEO, IRegained Inc.
“IRegained Inc. benefited enormously from the MC2 Capital program offered by CABHI. In addition to funding, access to CABHI’s network of mentors and advisors continues to play a significant role in our business development and go-to-market strategies. CABHI’s staff are always accessible and have supported us throughout this journey. I would strongly recommend CABHI to all start-ups operating in this space”
ELIZABETH AUDETTE-BOURDEAU

TAHIR JANMOHAMED
