Bilingual delivery,
provincial-grade compliance.
Quebec City founders need software that respects two languages, two legal frameworks, and a buyer market where the institutional and gov-tech buyers expect French-first documentation. We deliver from our Montreal HQ with native EN+FR docs, Loi 25 compliance built in, and a 2.5-hour drive when in-person matters.
Real considerations for founders shipping out of Quebec City — tax-credit math, regulatory awareness, time-zone alignment, talent ecosystem.
We ship every artifact (specs, screens, emails, README) in both languages by default. For Capitale-Nationale clients selling primarily to Quebec institutions, we lead with French and append English — not the inverse.
Quebec's Loi 25 governs all PII handling for Quebec residents — consent flows, breach notification, DPO requirements, data residency where required. We've shipped under Loi 25 across multiple sprints; it's not a checklist we discover late, it's a default we build past.
Quebec City's buyer market skews institutional — insurance (SSQ, La Capitale ecosystem), public-sector tech, energy (Hydro vendors), tourism platforms. Our sprint format slots into institutional procurement (fixed scope, fixed price, paper trail) cleanly.
If you want a kickoff in person, we drive up. If you want a milestone review face-to-face, we drive up. If you want async — most of our Quebec City clients do — that works too. Optional, not required.
Yes. For Capitale-Nationale institutional clients, French-first delivery is the default option — every spec, every screen label, every email, every README in French, with English as a secondary if required. Twelve years of bilingual SaaS experience; we don't outsource translation.
Loi 25 (LPRPDÉSP, in force since September 2023, with the 2024 phase activating consent rules) regulates how Quebec residents' personal information is collected, stored, used, and shared. If your product touches Quebec resident data, you need: explicit consent flows, a designated person responsible for PI protection, breach notification within stipulated timelines, and (depending on data category) potential data residency requirements. We build each of these as default sprint deliverables when the product warrants it.
We collaborate as needed with ULaval research groups (CRIM, INO) and design partners in the Capitale-Nationale ecosystem, but the core sprint delivery happens from our Montreal HQ. Single accountable team, single point of contact, single SOW — no subcontractor sprawl.
Yes. We are async-first by default — every engagement runs identically whether you're in Quebec City, MTL, Toronto, NYC, or anywhere else in North America. The Quebec City-specific advantages above (local tax credits, industry awareness, time-zone alignment) are bonuses for Quebec City founders, not constraints on who we'll work with.
Most Quebec City founders start with an Ideation Sprint ($4,995, 1 week) or HTML Demo Sprint ($9,995, 3–4 weeks) before committing to a Full Stack build. The smaller sprint validates fit and credit applies to your next sprint within 60 days. No retainers, no minimum spend.
