Nothing should go to waste because no one knew it was there.
Kanacapture began with a simple, uncomfortable truth. Every year, organizations throw away millions of dollars of usable furniture, equipment and supplies, not because the items have lost their value, but because no one has a clear picture of what they own. We exist to close that gap.
The Founders who would rather recover than replace.
We come from product, engineering and the circular economy, united by the conviction that smarter inventory is one of the most practical levers we have against waste.
Laurent leads the mission to turn forgotten inventory into recovered value. He works closely with enterprises and public institutions that feel the cost of waste firsthand, turning hard disposal problems into a wise choice.
Etienne builds the AI and systems that turn a single photo into a structured, searchable inventory. He is truly obsessed with making capture so fast and accurate that knowing what you own becomes a given, not a chore.
The best way to fight waste is to make reuse the easiest choice.
We believe the most powerful way to fight the waste of supplies is to build circular economies inside communities, keeping what is still good in use, close to the people who need it, instead of sending it to a landfill.
For most companies and governments, the obstacle is never willingness; it is friction. Figuring out what you have, what it is worth and who could use it has always meant manual counts, spreadsheets and disconnected resale workflows, so the path of least resistance becomes the dumpster.
We set out to flip that. By simplifying the process and lowering the cost of responsibly parting with unused material, furniture and supplies, we make reuse the default, turning what used to be a disposal expense into recovered value and shared opportunity.
It grew out of a Marketplace for Non-profit.
Before Kanacapture, we built réutilisons.com, a Quebec-born marketplace giving surplus office and school furniture a second life. Running it taught us the real bottleneck: organizations could not act on what they could not see. Kanacapture is the intelligence layer that solves that, feeding the same circular loop that réutilisons makes possible.
