Made by
following inspiration
Frédéric Aubé, Honours
Economics & Finance (BA),
Class of 2020
In his second year at McGill, Frédéric Aubé found a
problem that held potential. Inspired by moving day in
Montreal with its tight hallways and steep stairways, he
thought — there must be a better way to move furniture.
That sparked the idea for Cozey, Canada’s first easy-to-
assemble “sofa in a box” company, which he launched
in his last semester at McGill. Exchanging ideas with
ALUMNI COMMUNITY
smart students and approachable professors gave him
the confidence to build and pursue his business plan.
