Louis-Charles Gagnon

Engineer · Founder · Montréal

I build software that fixes the problems institutions live with every day.

I’m Louis-Charles Gagnon, an engineer trained at ÉTS and co-founder of LS2 Innovation and Scolago. Our software runs in colleges, universities, school service centres and government bodies. It creates classes, fills absences, proctors exams and archives records, so the people who run these institutions can get back to their real work.

More about me My companies

01Companies

Two companies, one purpose.

The companies are the vehicle. The work is always the same: find a task institutions keep redoing by hand, understand why it’s still manual, and build the software that ends it.

  1. 01

    LS2 Innovation

    Co-founder & CEO

    Software publisher for higher education and government. Its products connect the systems institutions already run to the tools their people use, and its higher-education products are used by more than 50 colleges and universities in North America.

03How I work

Three rules I build by.

Start with the task that keeps coming back.

Every product we’ve built began as work someone redid by hand each semester, each morning or each year. If it keeps coming back, it deserves software.

Fit into what’s already there.

Institutions don’t replace their core systems on a vendor’s schedule. Our products connect to the student information system, Microsoft 365 or Moodle they already run.

Treat privacy as part of the product.

Education and government data is sensitive. Canadian hosting, audit trails and Quebec’s Law 25 are designed in from the start, not added for a procurement checklist.

Let’s talk.

Email is the fastest way to reach me. For a demo or a quote on one of our products, its own website will get you an answer sooner.
