As Small Business Month comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to congratulate all of our Visa Grant Program recipients of 2025 . 🎉✨
These changemakers are shaping the future of business across Canada.
At Visa, we’re dedicated to supporting small businesses and enabling their growth and success by providing the tools, resources and insights they need to succeed.
In our final spotlight of the series, we’re celebrating Bayes Studio:
Maryam Parizi, Bayes Studio – developing AI-powered aerial and ground sensor systems that provide real-time wildfire intelligence. By predicting ignitions, detecting fires early, and monitoring live conditions, Bayes Studio equips responders and municipalities with data-driven insights for faster, smarter, and safer decision-making—helping protect lives, communities, and ecosystems.
This year, the Visa Grant Program supported women-led small businesses by providing funding, networking, and resources to help them scale, innovate and make a meaningful impact in their communities. Their resilience, creativity, and drive continue to inspire us every day.
