The story

Founded 2018 in Montreal as Atelier35 Inc. dba QuoteMachine, building online quoting, invoicing, and sales document software for high-ticket retailers. After raising $3.7M seed in late 2023, the company pushed deeper into embedded payments — operating its own Payment Processing Agreement directly with merchants for card and ACH acceptance. Now operates as 'QuoteMachine by Lightspeed', indicating a tight commercial or M&A tie-up with the Lightspeed POS ecosystem where its quoting tools sit alongside Lightspeed Payments.
