Yan and Sébastien Gagnon, Co-founders
Everything started in 2004 when our uncle asked Yan to develop a special security system for him. He had experienced several break-ins at his remote cottage in Québec and he didn't have electricity or a phone line to install a conventional method of surveillance.

How has your experience with Impact contributed to your success as an entrepreneur?
Impact is a great 'sandbox' to learn about entrepreneurship, and it gave me the opportunity to practice leading my own projects and initiatives. After I graduated, Impact was still extremely useful when it came to networking. Many of the people I ended up working with in Polar Mobile were members of Impact.
