He secured over $300,000 of grant funding for his previous software company which inspired him to co-found Impact Applications.

Chase Miller
A two-time entrepreneur, Chase thrives on building businesses—and helping others do the same.
He lives by the quote, “1% better every day,” knowing that success isn’t built overnight, but with relentless focus and work ethic, anything is possible.
Recognizing the lack of support for grant writing in Canada, Chase saw how businesses struggled with the time, resources, and energy needed to navigate the complex application process.
His mission is to change that—helping companies secure the funding they need to survive, grow, and thrive!
Beyond work, Chase is an avid traveler and lifelong athlete. He played hockey from age three through university and still hits the ice regularly.
When he’s not playing hockey, you’ll find him working out, shooting hoops, or teeing off on the golf course.
Hockey has ingrained in him the values that fuel his entrepreneurial drive: leadership, teamwork, the power of positive thinking, and a relentless competitive edge—his true superpower.
