About Marc Gingras
Marc is a Canadian serial entrepreneur, angel investor, and business leader responsible for helming many successful startups that have transformed how busy professionals organize their time and manage their personal productivity.
His startup Tungle, an early meeting scheduling tool and precursor to Calendly, was adopted by over half a million users before Research In Motion (makers of BlackBerry) acquired the company in 2011.
Once there, Marc led the team behind BlackBerry’s communication and productivity suite (including email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and memos) that was used by over 100 million people worldwide.
After BlackBerry, Marc became the leader of the team task management and visual communication platform Foko. The self-described “Instagram for business” counted over 50 major retailers—like Whole Foods, Converse, CVS, and Five Below—as customers before being acquired in 2021 by the private equity-backed WorkForce Software.
Now, Marc has reunited with some of his former teammates and is looking to take on Apple Notes and the Evernotes of the world with Bloks: an intelligent note-taking app that helps people think more clearly by quickly capturing and putting their thoughts in context.
