Philippe Genois: From Teenage App Developer to Scaling InputKit

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Philippe Genois, Co-Founder and CEO of InputKit, to explore the realities of building — and rebuilding — as a young SaaS entrepreneur. From launching video games on the App Store at just 17 to creating multiple startups that didn’t quite work out, Philippe shares the trial-and-error journey that shaped him into the founder he is today. After navigating failed ventures, legal challenges, and the steep learning curve of sales, he eventually built InputKit into a growing customer experience platform serving clinics and service businesses.Philippe dives into how InputKit helps SMBs automate customer feedback, improve Google reviews, and protect their reputation as they scale. He also opens up about transitioning from technical founder to sales leader, building a team of SDRs and account executives, and expanding beyond Quebec into the U.S. and Middle East. His key lesson? Business is a numbers game — and success comes from getting out of your comfort zone, trusting the process, and taking consistent action.
