⚠ Hard gate — investor introductions explicitly declined

WIDMO has stated clearly that they do not want investor introductions from TBDC. This is not a minor detail — it is the first thing any partnerships manager should register when reviewing this company. The system flags this gate before running any matching logic. WIDMO never appears in a VC match output. All support is redirected to customer meeting facilitation in mining, aggregates, and geotechnical engineering sectors.
Customer meeting targets — priority outreach
Agnico Eagle Mines
Mining
Toronto
Canada's largest gold producer. Active exploration programs globally. GPR subsurface mapping is directly applicable to site investigation workflows. Toronto HQ makes this a first-priority meeting.
Kinross Gold
Mining
Toronto
Major gold producer with global operations. Toronto HQ accessible. Strong GPR use case in site investigation and exploration programs.
Barrick Gold
Mining
Toronto
Global mining giant with deep exploration budgets. One of the highest-value potential customer meetings TBDC can facilitate — connects WIDMO to tier-1 global mining operations.
CRH Canada
Aggregates
Toronto
Major aggregates and construction materials player. GPR for subsurface aggregate characterization is a direct application of WIDMO's technology.
Holcim Canada
Aggregates
Mississauga
European-origin aggregates company — familiarity with European technology partners reduces adoption friction. WIDMO's Polish origin may be an asset.
WSP Global (Golder Associates)
Geotechnical
Montreal
World's largest geotechnical consulting firm. Highest strategic relevance — WSP would both use GPR in their practice and recommend WIDMO to their mining clients. A WSP relationship unlocks dozens of downstream opportunities.
Stantec
Geotechnical
Edmonton
Major Canadian engineering firm with active geotechnical practice. GPR fits directly into their site characterization and subsurface investigation methodology.
Tetra Tech Canada
Geotechnical
Vancouver
Environmental and geotechnical consulting — active in mining and resource projects with direct GPR applicability at multiple project phases.
