Bio
Jim Supple
I developed & taught an undergrad course for Carleton University students "Manangement of Technology and Innovation", and researched Luc's work developing the Foundry Program and other work and thought on outward transfer of university-developed technology. Luc's ideas and models are clear and workable, and produce benefits well worth their effort and cost.
Manu Sharma
Luc has been a mentor and guide to a whole generation of young innovators and entrepreneurs like myself. It would be an understatement to say that a lot of built our companies in Ottawa because of the support, encouragement, guidance and training we received from Luc. Luc is a pioneer and visionary when it comes to talent engagement and entrepreneurship support. Carleton University Foundry program, with its focus on lean bootstrapped venture creation and its engagement of the broader community, that Luc single-handedly conceived and built is still considered a best practice and an example for new age venture creation. I speak on behalf of all of the Foundry grads and clients when I say that Luc played a prominent role in our professional and entrepreneurial development and the seeding of our companies.
