In 1999, when Joe Poulin found himself knocking on the doors of lavish villas in Barbados, he was a 17-year-old from the outskirts of Montreal He had never been outside Canada before, but he had an idea to make the villa owners some money: a website that would market their vacation homes for rent.
Even though he was brushed aside by the owners as just another naïve teenager, he remained convinced there was money to be made and built the site anyway.
A few months later, Poulin flew back to Barbados. This time, he offered his service for free in exchange for 20 percent of the rental fee. "Next time you hear from me," he told the owners, "it's great news because I've got money for you." He returned to Montreal with seven properties to list."
