Matters has raised $5.0M in pre-seed funding to make government budgets and spending documents easier to read and access. The Canadian startup wants to help citizens see exactly where their tax dollars go.
Matters frames its mission as a fix rather than a teardown: the system isn't broken, it just needs to work better. The company says tracking tax expenditure through a few reforms could give people a clearer view of how their taxes are spent - and, in its telling, a bit more control. It's pitching the effort as a cross-party, cross-provincial movement open to anyone in Canada.
