From SR&ED Lending to Replacing Consultants with AI: Garron Helman's Playbook

In this episode of GrowthTales, Garron Helman shares how he built and sold Venbridge, a SR&ED financing company, in just four and a half years - timing the exit at the peak of the market without ever planning to sell. Now at the helm of GrowWise, he's using voice AI and LLMs to replace the traditional technical consultant in the Canadian R&D tax credit process. Hear why Garron believes most founders are too greedy to exit, why people still sell to people in an AI-driven world, and how two failed platform builds led to the breakthrough behind GrowWise.
