I'm Louis-Charles Gagnon — serial entrepreneur, co-founder of LS2 Innovation and Scolago. Engineer by training at École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) in Montréal, I spend my professional life at the same intersection: spotting an operational problem badly solved, understanding why, and building the software that fixes it for good.
For about fifteen years I built software in demanding sectors — banking, aerospace — between Montréal and New York. That’s where I learned to design systems that have to work under real constraint. When I pivoted to higher education, the same engineering instinct applied: the same pains came back every semester — manual class creation, broken sync scripts, schedule chaos — and these frictions were solvable. We solved them. That decision became Teameo (Microsoft Teams for higher ed), Classeo (Moodle integration) and Calendo (calendar sync) — used today by 50+ Quebec colleges and universities, with a growing footprint in France and Belgium. Scolago does the same work on the Quebec K-12 side.
What keeps me in the game is the conviction that we’re at the dawn of a decade where almost every software solution will be rethought from scratch — by AI, by new interaction modes, by architectures we haven’t seen yet. The patterns of the past won’t hold. The institutions and founders who learn to navigate this redesign will define the next twenty years. That’s where I want to play.
The next chapter, I’m attacking on the AI and future-tech terrain. I keep doing what I’ve always done — spot poorly solved problems and build companies to fix them — but this time on this new technological layer. In parallel I’m launching YouTube channels on topics I’m passionate about, including Genius AI, a long-form podcast and short clips exploring where technology is actually heading, in French and English.
