François Bélanger is Co-Founder of Élisa Interactive, a Montreal-based AI startup building tools that make 3D world creation in Roblox accessible to everyday players without any coding or developer skills.

François studied software development at the University of Quebec (1990-1993) and built a career spanning enterprise architecture and IT strategy at organizations including CGI, PSP Investments, and Sitepak.

A repeat founder with 30+ years in digital transformation and enterprise architecture, François co-founded Élisa Interactive alongside his son Julien, combining deep technical expertise with a passion for democratizing game creation.

Élisa Interactive secured an $875,000 pre-seed round backed by AQC Capital, Anges Quebec, and Investissement Quebec's Eureka Fund, and its flagship product Me-Z-Scene enables users to build Roblox worlds through natural language prompts.

With nearly 100 early testers on Me-Z-Scene and a full launch planned for fall 2026, Élisa Interactive is targeting Roblox's 380 million monthly players and eyeing future expansion into other user-generated content platforms like Minecraft and Fortnite.
