about frank
our story
After attending various female entrepreneurship conferences across North America, frank founder Dayna Lapkovsky noticed that the real take away was really the inspiration, motivation, support and camaraderie – even more so than the content.
She recognized an opportunity to create a sustainable solution for fostering lasting, meaningful and strategic connections and personal development amongst Montreal’s talented, smart, ambitious and creative women – was right in front of her.
Putting her revelation into practice, Dayna rallied her own diverse group of exceptionally talented, out of the box thinkers, dreamers and doers to help shape her vision.
frank was born and has now grown into a global community of like-minded women.
Now’s your chance to join our amazing group of ambitious women and help propel your goals to totally new places.
