Quick answers

What was Justin Vaillancourt's role at Dooly?

Techcouver reported on 2021-03-03 and again on 2021-05-20 that Dooly was co-founded by Justin Vaillancourt and Kris Hartvigsen in 2016. A Canada's Podcast profile of him, published 2018-08-10, names him 'Co-Founder and CTO of Dooly.'

What did Vaillancourt do before Dooly?

That Canada's Podcast profile, published 2018-08-10, says he taught himself to code at age 8, was working as a software developer by 14, and held lead-engineer roles at several early-stage tech companies before co-founding Dooly.

What did Vaillancourt say in his December 2021 interview about CRM systems?

In an interview Adrian Swinscoe published on his site on 2021-12-20, Vaillancourt discussed Dooly's Sales Happiness Index research and said CRM systems are not designed with users, and particularly sales users, in mind, pointing to survey findings that most reps do admin work after hours to keep up with it.

What happened to Dooly, and is Vaillancourt still there?

Techcouver reported on 2024-08-01 that Dooly was acquired by Chicago's Mediafly, in an announcement from co-founder and CEO Kris Hartvigsen. That article does not mention Vaillancourt, and no live page found on 2026-09-25 confirms a current role for him.
