Renoworks Announces Funding from Alberta Innovates Tech Futures

Renoworks Receives Funding from Alberta Innovates Tech Futures to Scale Renoworks PRO™ Platform and Stimulate Growth in Alberta’s Technology Sector

CALGARY, ALBERTA, July 20th, 2016 – Renoworks Software Inc. (TSXV: RW)(OTC PINK: RWOKF)(“Renoworks” or the “Company”), the leading visualizer for the home remodeling and construction industry, is pleased to announce that it has received funding from Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures (AITF), to enhance the company’s sales and marketing efforts.

Through its Commercialization Associates Program, AITF will fund 80 per cent of the salaries for two sales and marketing employees focused on increasing Renoworks PRO™ sales and additional sales and marketing expenses. This grant totals $222,000 over a two-year period.

With Renoworks PRO™, contractors can show homeowners how their home will look before a remodelling project starts by quickly designing a new look for a home. Users upload a photo of a home and then apply products from over 250 manufacturer libraries, covering both exterior and interior building product categories, to produce a realistic image of the remodelled home.

AITF provides funding to Alberta-based technology companies to stimulate growth of the provincial economy through job creation, revenue generation, economic diversification, and increased out-of-province investment. With the Renoworks PRO™ platform becoming a much needed tool for contractors all across North America, AITF saw excellent growth potential.

AITF previously provided Renoworks with approximately $100,000 grants through its Voucher programs to fund market assessment studies and the development of a mobile application.

“We are extremely grateful for this additional funding from Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures,” said Doug Vickerson, CEO of Renoworks. “This funding will help us grow our Renoworks PRO™ platform into a suite of tools every contractor in North America uses to improve their sales process. It will also strengthen our business as well as Alberta’s technology sector. The fact AITF has provided funding for Renoworks PRO™ more than once shows it strongly believes in what we are doing for contractors and the provincial economy.”
