The team and the thinking behind it

Small team. Specific problem.

Galet started from a simple frustration. Families raising autistic, ADHD, and sensory-different kids often get tools built for other families. Advice that ignores how their child's nervous system actually works. We wanted to build something gentler. More specific. Honest about what it can and can't do.

How we think about this work.

Three principles that shape every decision.

One. Sensory, not behavioural.

Restricted eating in neurodivergent children is usually a sensory reality. Not a behaviour problem. Galet never frames your child as something to be fixed. It's a tool for gentler trying, not for pushing past limits.

Two. The clinician is always the expert.

Galet surfaces patterns. It doesn't diagnose, predict, or prescribe. Every signal in the app is designed to start a conversation with your child's care team. Not replace them.

Three. Less, done honestly.

No cures. No before-and-afters. No promises about what your child will eat. A tool for the in-between moments. Reviewed by clinicians, owned by your family, free for the core work, forever.

The team

Small, specific, clinically advised.

Maxime

Founder

I'm a Toronto-based parent, and the creator of Galet. After years of managing complex technical projects, I now pour that experience into building secure, beautifully simple tools. Galet was inspired entirely by my own daily adventures raising my three-year-old, and it is built to help other parents feel a little more supported and a lot less stressed.

Why Toronto first.

Toronto is our pilot city because our CMO practises here, and Maxime lives here. Families in the beta can meet us in person if they want. Coffee. A playground. A library with their kid. We wanted the first 15 families to be ones we could actually know. Not analytics rows.

After Toronto, Ontario. After Ontario, the rest of Canada. After Canada, the US. In that order, at a pace that lets us stay close to the families using Galet.

A note on the name.

"Galet" means pebble in French. A small, smooth, patient thing shaped by water over time. That felt right for a tool whose whole idea is that small sensory bridges, offered patiently, can widen a child's world.

If you knew us in an earlier form, you may remember Tummii. Same team, same CMO, same roadmap, new name.
