LenzVU Launches “Canada Startup Boost” to Back
Canadian Founders as Startup Support Tightens
Full marketing + sales suite offered at $10 CAD/month for 12 months for
eligible Canadian-incorporated startups
[Toronto, Ontario] — [Jan 30, 2026] — LenzVU today announced Canada Startup Boost, a new
initiative to support early-stage founders building in Canada as the broader environment for
technology startups becomes more constrained. With increasing pressure for founders to
incorporate outside Canada, LenzVU is making it easier to build and grow here by offering eligible
Canadian-incorporated startups (incorporated within the last 12 months) a deeply discounted rate
on its full marketing and sales suite—regularly $115 USD/month, now available for $10 CAD/month
for 12 months. The offer includes phone, SMS, AI Receptionist, email campaigns, automated
follow-ups, lead management, and a sales pipeline.
Canada Startup Boost is available to startups incorporated in Canada within the last 12 months
(verification required). The offer includes access to LenzVU’s full suite—business phone, SMS, AI
Receptionist, email campaigns, automated follow-ups, lead management, and sales pipeline
tools—plus 6,000 Boosts per month, LenzVU’s flexible usage credits that can be applied across
usage-based functionality. In most cases, 6,000 Boosts supports 750+ text messages (actual usage
varies by feature).
“Canadian founders are building world-class companies with world-class talent,” said Afi, Founder
and CEO of LenzVU. “But when the overall market pulls back, it becomes even more important that
Canadian organizations, governments, and business leaders work together to protect and grow our
entrepreneurial engine. Canada Startup Boost is our commitment to reduce friction and help
Canadian startups keep moving—faster.”
A Call to Band Together for Canadian Entrepreneurship
LenzVU is encouraging Canadian accelerators, industry groups, investors, and public-sector
leaders to take coordinated action to support founders: accelerate procurement pathways for
startups, reduce administrative burdens, expand early-customer programs, and promote “build in
Canada” initiatives that keep innovation, jobs, and intellectual property anchored at home. The
company noted that when funding and program access tightens, startups face pressure to relocate
or register elsewhere—often before they’ve even found product-market fit.
Considerations Around Registering in the United States

Considerations Around Registering in the United States
While many companies choose to incorporate in the U.S. for valid reasons, LenzVU highlighted that
registering outside Canada can introduce new layers of complexity—especially for early-stage
founders trying to stay lean. These considerations may include:
• More compliance and filings: additional corporate and tax reporting obligations across
jurisdictions
• Higher accounting and legal costs: multi-jurisdiction bookkeeping, specialist tax support,
and administrative overhead
• Exposure to regulatory change: uncertainty around shifting rules, reporting requirements,
and enforcement priorities
• Operational friction: cross-border banking, FX exposure, payroll complexity, and contracting
differences
• Time cost for founders: less time selling and building, more time managing paperwork
“Founders shouldn’t have to trade focus for bureaucracy,” added Afi. “If Canada wants to keep its
best companies building here, we need a broader coalition—private and public—to make it easier
to start, operate, and scale Canadian startups in Canada.”
