I worked for Jérôme Laflamme and Simon Bourdon for approximately five months.
At the time, they operated under the name Just A Company, which has since been rebranded as RebuildAI.
At the beginning, everything seemed professional. Communication was smooth, development progressed well, and payments were made on time. I had no reason to question the company or the people behind it.
As the project progressed, payments started being delayed. Each time, I was told there were temporary issues with the payment system or that new payment processes were being implemented. Trusting their explanations, I continued working and delivered everything that was requested.
In early March, I was informed that my work on the project was ending. At the same time, I was assured that the remaining balance for my completed work would be paid shortly.
That payment never arrived.
As of today, I am still owed $4,203 USD for work that was completed and accepted.
Over the following months, I repeatedly tried to resolve the issue privately. Initially, I was told there were problems with the company's partners and that payment would be made as soon as those issues were resolved. Eventually, Jérôme Laflamme stopped responding to my messages altogether.
Throughout this entire period, Simon Bourdon was one of the people managing and representing the company. From my experience, both Jérôme Laflamme and Simon Bourdon were aware that payment for my completed work remained outstanding, yet the issue was never resolved.
Only after exhausting every private attempt to recover the money did I decide to make my experience public.
I am sharing this story not out of revenge, but to help other developers, freelancers, clients, and business partners make informed decisions before working with RebuildAI (formerly Just A Company), Jérôme Laflamme, or Simon Bourdon.
