The government has all sorts of programs in place to help entrepreneurs grow and succeed on a global scale. Although it may take some time and a little bit of boring work, surfing the web to find government funding can definitely be worth it.

The government of Canada, for example, has a multitude of opportunities for entrepreneurs to get grants and loans for research and development, hiring interns or grad students, covering travel expenses, marketing, and much, much more. All it usually takes is filling out an application package, submitting the right materials, and showing that you are committed.
