- Élisa Interactive
Participated · Seed · Aug 2026
Élisa Interactive develops Me-Z-Scene, an AI-assisted level design tool that arranges existing assets to create 3D scenes and game worlds without generating new assets. Founded by father-son duo François and Julien Bélanger, the company pivoted from building studio-specific tools to enabling amateur creators on user-generated-content platforms like Roblox. Me-Z-Scene is being tested by just under 100 users, with a full launch planned for the fall. At launch, Élisa plans to charge users based on credit usage, though details of the pricing model remain to be finalized. The startup raised $875,000 in a pre-seed round from AQC Capital, Anges Québec, Investissement Québec’s Eurêka Fund and angel investors to support development and commercialization. The team has also signaled potential future expansion into other UGC-forward games such as Minecraft or Fortnite.

Led · Seed · May 2026
Jetty builds an infrastructure layer for agentic AI that lets autonomous agents run end-to-end workflows in sandboxed environments, trace decisions from instruction to output, and apply rigorous evaluation loops that enable continuous improvement.

Jetty positions itself to provide the audit trails enterprises require to deploy autonomous systems reliably at scale. The company is headquartered in Montreal and led by founder and CEO Jonathan Lebensold, with an operating team that includes Roberto Cipriani and Tracy Milner. Financially, Jetty recently closed a pre-seed round of over $2 million from institutional, strategic, and angel investors to accelerate product development, expand engineering headcount, and drive enterprise traction.
