Summary
Philippe-Antoine Lehoux is a serial founder and CEO with 15+ years of product and startup leadership and 24 years of bootstrapping businesses across gaming, events, coworking, and productivity software. He leads Missive, a collaborative email and threaded chat app, and previously launched and exited two successful products—LeanTicket and ConferenceBadge—demonstrating repeatable product-market fit and successful acquisitions. Comfortable from idea to exit, he combines hands-on product instincts with operational rigor learned running high-traffic consumer sites (JeuxGratuits.net) and building community-driven projects like a rapid game jam festival and Quebec City's first coworking space. Based in Quebec City, he pairs a BBA foundation with a maker’s ethos: shipping, iterating, and learning from each venture. Not obviously technical on paper, he nonetheless repeatedly ships web-scale products and orchestrates partnerships (e.g., with Eventbrite) that scale go-to-market. His career signals pragmatic entrepreneurship: creating delightful user experiences while engineering businesses that attract strategic buyers.
