**Founder:** David Vissière — Président-fondateur (Founder & CEO)
**Background:** tech | verified: True — Deeply technical (engineering/applied mathematics). David Vissière is an engineering graduate of École Polytechnique and holds a PhD from Mines ParisTech in applied mathematics, with doctoral research on magneto-inertial navigation that became SYSNAV's core technology. Before founding SYSNAV (2008), he worked as an inertial navigation expert for the French Ministry of Defence. He founded and serves as Président/CEO of SYSNAV, a GPS-free geolocation company. The 'tech' claim is fully supported.
**Stage / fundraise:** Established, profitable deep-tech SME founded 2008 (~50 people per company recruiting page), dual-use (defense/industrial navigation + healthcare). Healthcare arm (Sysnav Healthcare) is a mature business unit, not an early-stage startup. ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified since 2015, ISO 27001 since 2023. / No fresh VC round identified. Momentum comes from commercial/pharma partnerships rather than a disclosed equity raise — notably a multi-year collaboration with Roche announced Jan 2023 to develop digital endpoints and next-gen wearables. Earlier history includes French innovation recognition (MIT TR35; 3rd most innovative French SME by INPI in 2019). Funding amounts not disclosed in sources reviewed.
**Regulatory trigger:** Strong, mature regulatory posture (not an early trigger). SYSNAV/Sysnav Healthcare operates medical-grade wearables (ActiMyo, Syde) used in neuromuscular clinical trials; quality system is ISO 13485 certified. Their digital endpoint SV95C (Stride Velocity 95th Centile) was the first wearable-derived digital endpoint qualified by the EMA (2023). MDR class / specific CE certificate number not confirmed in sources reviewed; the device is used as a clinical-trial / digital-outcome tool (SaMD-adjacent). They already have QARA maturity in-house.
**Email:** contact@sysnav.fr (confidence low) — contact@sysnav.fr is a published general company address referenced via the company contact page (sysnav.fr/contact-us). No published personal address for David Vissière was found; third-party aggregators (RocketReach/ContactOut) suggest a {first}.{last}@sysnav.fr pattern, but that is an unconfirmed aggregator inference, so a personal guess (david.vissiere@sysnav.fr) is left as low/none — not verified, do not send as published.
**LinkedIn:** https://www.linkedin.com/company/sysnav (company). No verified personal LinkedIn URL for David Vissière confirmed in sources reviewed — left blank to avoid fabrication. **Website:** https://www.sysnav.fr (healthcare: https://healthcare.sysnav.com)
**Score:** 4 -> Tier C
**Hook:** Hard to make OmDev's core pitch land here: SYSNAV is an established, profitable deep-tech SME with a technical founder (polytechnique/Mines PhD, ex-Defence), a sitting CTO, an ISO 13485 quality system and an EMA-qualified digital endpoint — they already own the senior-team + dedicated-CTO + compliance-engine story internally. The dev-hiring is scale-driven growth, not a gap OmDev fills 3x cheaper than in-house. Only realistic angle is overflow capacity on a specific app/data surface (e.g., the patient/clinical web stack they're hiring frontend/backend for) where OmDev's traceability + SOUP-register pipeline could feed their existing IEC 62304/MDR file — but this is a long shot vs the ICP.

## Founder & background
David Vissière is **président-fondateur (Founder & CEO)** of SYSNAV — a deeply *technical* founder: engineer (École polytechnique), PhD in applied maths from Mines ParisTech (2009 ParisTech thesis prize on guidance-navigation-piloting), ex-inertial-navigation expert for French Defence and former fighter-pilot officer ([ÉcoRéseau portrait](https://www.ecoreseau.fr/entreprendre/portraits-entrepreneurs/david-vissere-de-pilote-de-chasse-a-lentrepreneur-2014-08-28-4987); [Sysnav](https://www.sysnav.fr/david-vissiere-obtient-le-prix-de-thse-paristech-2009-pour-ses-travaux-sur-la-navigation/)).
He built SYSNAV (2008) around proprietary magneto-inertial GPS-free navigation and was named an MIT TR35 innovator. **This is the inverse of OmDev's finance/insurance ICP — a hard-tech, code-first founder.**

## Funding & momentum
No fresh disclosed equity round; momentum is commercial. The standout signal is a **multi-year collaboration with Roche** (announced Jan 2023) to build digital endpoints and next-gen wearables ([Sysnav Healthcare](https://healthcare.sysnav.com/sysnav-healthcare-announces-a-multi-year-collaboration-with-roche/); [Labiotech](https://www.labiotech.eu/trends-news/sysnav-roche-movement-tracking-technology/)).
Earlier recognition: MIT TR35 and 3rd most innovative French SME (INPI, 2019). The company is an established, profitable ~50-person SME, not an early-stage startup.

## Product & regulatory
Magneto-inertial (GPS-free) 3D movement-reconstruction medical wearables — **ActiMyo** and the next-gen **Syde** — for neuromuscular disease monitoring (DMD, FSHD, SMA), producing the **SV95C** stride-velocity metric, the first wearable-derived digital endpoint qualified by the **EMA (2023)** ([JND/Sagepub](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3233/JND-210743); [about-us](https://healthcare.sysnav.com/about-us/)).
Quality posture is mature: **ISO 13485 + ISO 9001 since 2015, ISO 27001 since 2023, GDPR**. SaMD-adjacent; exact MDR class / CE certificate not confirmed in sources reviewed. They already run their own QARA.

## Pain & buying signals
**They are actively hiring developers (GetYourJob signal)** — frontend and backend roles in Vernon/Paris ([WTTJ jobs](https://www.welcometothejungle.com/en/companies/sysnav/jobs); [fullstack listing](https://sysnav.welcomekit.co/companies/sysnav/jobs/ingenieur-fullstack_vernon)). But here that reads as *growth/scale*, not a team gap: SYSNAV has a confirmed **CTO (Mathieu Hillion, Directeur technique)**, a dedicated IS manager, recruits from top grandes écoles, and owns a strong embedded/algorithms/data org. Low evidence of agency dependence, missing-CTO, or audit/deadline fire-drill.

**Why OmDev fits (weak):** SYSNAV already owns OmDev's headline story internally — senior team, a sitting CTO, an ISO 13485 system, and an EMA-qualified endpoint — so the "senior devs + dedicated CTO + compliance engine, ~3x cheaper than in-house" pitch has little leverage. The only plausible wedge is *overflow capacity* on a specific patient/clinical web surface (the very frontend/backend roles they're recruiting), where OmDev's traceability + SOUP-register pipeline could feed their existing IEC 62304/MDR file. Long shot vs the ICP → **Tier C**.
