Subflow finds, combines and plans public funding for small businesses.

Subflow is a cloud-based, AI-powered platform. It reads a company's file, matches it against hundreds of grant, tax credit and loan programs, and calculates how much the company can get, when the money will arrive and whether its cash flow holds up until then.

The problem

Public funding is plentiful, but hard to read.

In Quebec and across Canada, hundreds of federal, provincial, regional and municipal programs fund hiring, innovation, automation and exports. Their criteria change with every budget, some programs stack while others reduce each other, and a tax credit may be paid more than a year after the expense. Today this work is done by hand, one program at a time.

Scattered information

Hundreds of agencies publish their programs in their own way and change them without notice.

Complex stacking rules

The real amount depends on the combination chosen: rates, caps, and programs that reduce one another.

Cash flow at risk

Money arrives in instalments and often late: a good funding plan can still drain liquidity.

The product

From a company's documents to a costed funding roadmap.

Subflow has been in production since October 2026: Subvia's analysts use it to build their clients' funding roadmaps.

01

Living program catalogue

A structured database of programs with criteria, rates, caps and stacking rules. Every value carries its official source, verification date and confidence level.

02

Automated monitoring

Every night, Subflow re-reads public agencies' pages and feeds, detects changes and updates program records based on the official source only.

03

Client file intake

Financial statements, budgets, emails and meeting notes become a structured profile in which every fact keeps its source document.

04

Matching and calculation engine

Eligibility, amount per program, filing order, disbursement schedule and monthly cash flow, delivered as a two-page funding roadmap.

How it works

AI reasons, code calculates, experts validate.

  1. File upload

    Documents are encrypted at rest; the profile derived from them is pseudonymized before matching and drafting.

  2. Extraction and profile

    AI models extract the relevant facts (activity, projects, expenses, hires) into typed, schema-validated data.

  3. Matching and qualification

    The engine filters the catalogue, AI qualifies the best candidates, and each selected program is re-checked against its official source.

  4. Funding roadmap

    Code calculates amounts, timeline and cash flow; the analyst reviews and publishes the roadmap for the client.

Technology

A cloud-native architecture built for AI.

Subflow is fully cloud-based and serverless. Its workload (document processing, AI model inference, scheduled monitoring of hundreds of sources and encrypted storage) grows with the number of client files and tracked sources.

Serverless computeWeb application, API and scheduled jobs.
Relational databaseCatalogue, profiles and versions, with versioned migrations.
Encrypted object storageDocuments encrypted at rest, weekly backups.
Generative AIExtraction, triage, qualification and drafting, with validated outputs.

Controlled AI outputs

AI only produces typed data validated against versioned schemas, never executable code or queries.

Deterministic calculations

Amounts, dates and cash flow come from a tested engine; every amount quoted is checked by code before publication.

Privacy by design

Encrypted documents, pseudonymized profiles, restricted access, compliance with Quebec's Law 25.

Measured costs

Every AI call is metered and capped per client file, keeping the cost per analysis predictable as we grow.

Market and traction

For small businesses and startups investing in growth.

Subflow serves Quebec and Canadian small businesses and startups that hire, innovate, automate or export, directly or through Subvia's partners: accountants, accelerators and financial institutions.
