CO-FOUNDER
So, what does a guy with a Masters degree in Philosophy do when he graduates? He becomes an entrepreneur.
At the age of 25, Frank joined a clean tech start-up as its first employee, and at 28 started his first venture, TriggerTech, a technology company that developed and manufactured a patented mechanism for the sporting and hunting industry. It was one of the fastest growing Canadian companies in 2020. From there, he launched Carbon Marine, a Canadian manufacturer of luxury high-performance fully carbon fiber powerboats.
He was trained in carbon pre-preg production. His deep experience in starting companies and proven ability to launch commercial and OEM products internationally led him to create BRIDGE.
