Two sides. One marketplace.

Built For Both Sides Of The Work

Makers describe what they need. Vendors show what they do best. Makevana matches the two on real capabilities, not keywords.

  1. 01

    Makers describe a project

    Plain-language descriptions, drawings, quantities and timing — organized into a bill of materials.

  2. 02

    Vendors show their capabilities

    Processes, materials, certifications and the work they want more of, on a profile they own.

  3. 03

    Makevana makes the match

    Each requirement meets the businesses equipped for it, and the conversation starts with a clear scope.

One project. Every material. The right partners.

Every Project Becomes A Sourcing-Ready BOM

Makers build a bill of materials as their idea takes shape. Each part, material and process on it is matched with capable Canadian suppliers and manufacturers — so both sides start from the same page.

  • Projects organized as bills of materials
  • Requirements matched to real capabilities
  • Conversations that start with a clear scope
