If your software-as-a-service startup is getting the insatiable itch for growth, L-Spark wants you. The Kanata-based accelerator has opened applications for its Fall 2017 cohort.

True to his predictions, Member365, a recent graduate of the program, recently announced a $1.3 million seed funding round of its own.
