The Pump That Will Revolutionize the World of Cardiac Surgery
This success boils down to the hard work of the company’s three co-founders: Jade Doucet-Martineau, an ÉTS mechanical engineering graduate, who co-founded the company with François Trudeau, an ÉTS robotic engineering graduate, and Dr. Gabriel Georges, now a cardiac surgeon at the Québec Heart and Lung Institute (IUCPQ). The three young students had to overcome many obstacles along the way, not least of which was being taken seriously.
Clearly, the company has proven that it’s the real deal! Investors from Canada, the United States, and Europe came knocking on their door, and a world-renowned interventional cardiologist joined the team as Medical Chief.
The heart pump designed by these three young entrepreneurs now stands as a beacon of hope for the 26 million patients worldwide who struggle with heart failure.
