?? As a #CTO pivotal in building their business and product,?Ve Sharma?of Adauris knew that tackling #SRED?#taxcredit?claims could be painful for a first-time #founder. ? Beyond the “gotchas,” there are plenty of horror stories around the #startup ecosystem of tax credit claims gone wrong, and dozens—if not hundreds—of hours sank with little success. ?? There was also a flip side to those SR&ED horror stories, and that was Boast, as other #entrepreneurs and #founders across Ve’s network all had a smooth and seamless experience working with our team to maximize their R&D tax credit claims. With unmatched #tech and #tax expertise and our experience building fast-growth businesses, Boast is the perfect partner for entrepreneurs like Ve. Stream the full ??
