Alexandre Marcotte

Yo, you gotta hear about Alexandre Marcotte. This guy’s the real deal in the tech startup game. So, he’s from St-Michel and jumped into the scene with FightCamp, where he’s the CTO and co-founder. That’s the home boxing gym that’s crushing it with punch-tracking tech, you know, those sensors that actually make boxing workouts smarter and more fun. Pretty sick, right? He jumped into YC back in W16 with FightCamp, which used to be called Hykso. That’s a legit stamp, YC’s no joke.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Alexandre’s background is all about embedded systems, hardware design, electrical engineering, basically, he’s the guy who makes the tech actually work behind the scenes. Started out as an assembler back in 2007 at Connexion Technic & Technologies Coffea, then moved through roles at Crobel Électronique, Esterline CMC Electronics, Axes Network, Opsens. Dude’s been all over, building stuff, tweaking hardware, making things work in the real world. That’s his jam.

He’s got a bachelor’s in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Université de Sherbrooke and a technic diploma from Cégep Limoilou, so he’s got serious technical chops. Plus, he’s taken part in the Founder Institute and even grabbed a certification from Kauffman FastTrac. Basically, he’s been grinding to learn the ropes from all angles, not just tech but also how to build and scale.

What’s crazy is, this guy’s process shows he’s all about solving real problems with tech. His experience isn’t just about making gadgets; it’s about pushing boundaries, innovating in electrical and embedded systems, and then jumping into startups that actually change how people work out. His motivation? No bullshit, he’s about building stuff that’s the real deal, that makes a difference. That’s why FightCamp blew up, because he’s the dude who can take complex tech and turn it into something that’s super accessible and fun.

Long story short, Alexandre Marcotte is the kind of founder who’s been in the trenches, learning every part of the tech puzzle, and then jumping into startup life to make it all happen. He’s a mix of deep technical genius and a guy who’s not afraid to take risks, learn fast, and create products that actually get people hyped. That’s why he’s important, he’s proof that with enough grind and passion, you can turn your technical skills into something that’s changing the game. No Cap.
