Francesca’s bio: Francesca was born and raised in the Dominican Republic, in between poverty and affluence, in a country where government corruption made generational entrepreneurship the tool for family sustainability. Knowing what it was like to go without, but with a taste for having it all, Francesca came to the USA and has made the most of all this country has to offer. An engineering degree, graduate courses in IT and business administration, various ventures, stay-at-home mom, even a short stint as missionary. Today, she lives with her husband and three daughters in Tampa, FL, and runs her two companies Startups For Social Impact and Innovation Lab. Her personal goal is to serve God and serve people, through coaching and teaching entrepreneurs.
