The two guys behind MesBobettes

MesBobettes is the story of a friendship that turned into a professional partnership. It's two little boys who as children threw the ball at each other in the yard and who, even today, pass the ball around in their office, much to the dismay of their employees.

Philippe Vachon and David Côté-Hamel have known each other since grade 5, it's been 27 years now. Before being in the same class, Phil sees Dave as "little bum", the rebellious little guy while he is more of the charismatic type, to take up a lot of space which makes him the target of Dave's mockery. When the latter doubles his 4th year, the two guys are led to rub shoulders more closely and become friends.

Their relationship grows and solidifies over the years, but it is entrepreneurship that unites them more. Finishing his studies in computer graphics, Dave dreams of starting his web agency. With a friend in web design, he went into business in 2008 and Phil quickly joined the duo.

Their professional destiny separates for a few years. Phil devotes himself to MesBobettes, the agency's laboratory project. Dave remained in charge of the agency until 2016, the year in which he made the leap into the world of men's underwear. Since then, the two guys have been closer than ever: they work together, share the same office, are godparents to each other's children, own a building and socialize evenings and weekends.

For some, going into business with a friend is synonymous with disaster, let's remember Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin who ended up in front of their lawyers, but we can see that it's quite the opposite for Phil and Dave. Their story is that of a professional and fraternal marriage. They support each other, share the risks, their resources, their network.

The alliance of the two guys is also made on the intellectual level. The creative, the calm and the “funny guy” is Dave. He is also the negotiator and the “bad cop” when needed. Phil is the "go to guy", the charismatic man who embodies the figure of the company. This personality duality takes them further, they question themselves and complete their ideas.

Phil and Dave are therefore to bobettes what sweet and sour sauce and croquettes are to Mcdo, what Lennon and McCartney are to music, what Batman and Robin are to comics, what Mario and Luigi are to games video.
