Francesca is a passion-led entrepreneur serving as the CEO and founder of Puppysphere. Her entrepreneurial journey began at a young age when she started a string of business ventures in school and eventually went on to win the coveted title of Miss Teenage Canada. Eventually, Francesca graduated from the small leagues in 2018 when she was invited to join a biotechnology startup spun out of the University of Toronto. Francesca supported a fund-raise of over $2 million for the startup while managing a cutting-edge research team.
Inspired by her dog's impact on her life, Francesca went on to boot-strap her own venture focused on puppy therapy. Puppysphere is now a 7-figure multi-national startup that has successfully hosted tens of thousands of attendees and secured partnerships with industry giants like the New York Times, Vogue, Google and Tiktok. Francesca's passion for entrepreneurship and ability to curate a stellar team has been key to her success. At the young age of 27, Francesca is a proud leader to her team of 220 staff at her Toronto, NYC, Chicago, Houston and Miami offices. She plans to bring Puppysphere into every major city across the globe, all while creating new ventures.
