Every SRED firm told us no. So we filed it ourselves.

We came at this the hard way. Before My Tech Passport, we'd spent years building software - 400+ projects, 20+ AI products, platforms used by real businesses every day. We weren't a lab. We weren't a manufacturer. We were builders who happened to run a service business.

When we first asked about SRED, the answer was instant and identical every time: “Agencies and consultants don't qualify. SRED is for tech companies and manufacturers.” One consultant didn't even ask what we built. He looked at our business card and checked the “no” box.

So we did what we always do. We read the CRA's eligibility criteria ourselves. All three tests - technological uncertainty, systematic investigation, technological advancement. And we realized something the experts had missed: the client work might be marketing, but the infrastructure behind it was engineering.

We'd built systems where off-the-shelf tools genuinely failed. We'd burned months on integrations that fought back. We'd thrown away architectures that couldn't survive real-world load. That work met every criterion on the page.

We filed. We got funded.

Then we looked around and saw thousands of agencies and consultants in the same position - building real technology inside service businesses, sitting on five- and six-figure claims, and being told “no” by an industry that never bothered to look.

My Tech Passport exists to fix that. We speak both languages - agency operations and SRED technical narratives - because we run both. We know which parts of your work are honestly ineligible, and we'll tell you that first. Then we find the parts that aren't, and we build the claim around them.

We were told it wasn't possible. Now we prove it's possible - for agencies like yours.
