Quick answers
Did Sébastien Rothlisberger co-found Vasco?
Yes. BetaKit (2025-01-15) reports that in 2022 Guillaume Jacquet left Lightspeed "to launch Vasco alongside co-founder and CTO Sébastien Rothlisberger, who had served as senior architect of technology at Lightspeed." Private Capital Journal (2025-01-16) describes Vasco as "led by Guillaume Jacquet and Sébastien Rothlisberger" in its brief on the US$8 million seed round.
What did Sébastien Rothlisberger do before Vasco?
He was senior architect of technology at Lightspeed, the Montreal commerce software company, according to BetaKit (2025-01-15). The same article says Lightspeed had bought Jacquet's first startup, ChronoGolf, in 2019, and that Lightspeed is now a Vasco customer. No fetched page states when Rothlisberger joined Lightspeed or what he did before it.
Has Sébastien Rothlisberger spoken at TechTO?
No. Vasco's speaker on the TechTO stage is Justin Hudon, who leads sales and customer success; he presented "The RevOps Bow Tie: Building a GTM Engine That Scales" at TechTO SalesTO on 2026-05-04.
Where is Sébastien Rothlisberger based, and what is his role today?
Boreal Ventures' team page, read 2026-10-16, lists "Seb Rothlisberger, Co-Founder & CTO @ Vasco" in its Boreal Guild, which the page describes as Boreal Ventures investors who are former founders and experienced operators. Vasco is based in Montreal, but no fetched page states where Rothlisberger himself lives, so no city is recorded. Vasco's own website could not be read on 2026-10-16 (it returned 403), so its team page was not checked.
