Table Ronde with Adrian Schauer (AlayaCare)
Adrian Schauer is a serial founder who keeps building market leaders. Before AlayaCare, he built two mobile software companies that each led their market and got acquired. He's an active angel investor, sits on several tech boards, and won EY Entrepreneur of the Year (Quebec, Emerging Entrepreneur) in 2016.
In 2014, he co-founded AlayaCare in Montreal to rebuild how home care is delivered. Today it's Canada's leading software provider for home care, with 600+ employees and operations across North America, Australia and New Zealand. Along the way, he raised a $225M Series D, acquired Procura, one of AlayaCare's biggest global competitors, and made Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 four years running. This is a must-attend conversation for founders who want to build in a hard industry, scale globally from Montreal, and use capital and acquisitions to win their category.
We'll discuss:
Going from two exits in mobile to healthcare
Selling software into one of tech's toughest markets
Scaling from Montreal to the US and Australia
Raising $225M and growing through acquisitions
Where the next big opportunities in health tech are
What is Table Ronde?
Table Ronde is Montreal's monthly fireside chat for builders. Each month, we sit down with one founder, CEO or investor who's been through it, and get the real story: the hard calls, the near-misses, and what they'd do differently.
One guest, one honest conversation, open Q&A, and a room full of people building something.
Past guests include the founders of Dialogue, Stay22, nesto, Goodfood and Novisto.
35+ talks · 3,500+ community · 120+ builders in the room every month
