About
Franco Buttice grew up between Miami and the Dominican Republic, shaped by an Argentinian family with deep Italian roots. From a young age, he was drawn to solving problems and building projects that made things work better for the people around him. He is currently studying Finance and Entrepreneurship at the University of Miami, where he channels that instinct into ventures, analysis, and execution.
Grew up in Miami with an Argentinian family. Spent several formative years living in the Dominican Republic. That mix of cultures shaped how he sees people, opportunity, and business.
Loves soccer, especially Argentina and European football. Enjoys tennis, both watching and playing. Drawn to music, art, literature, and the ocean.
Has traveled to over 15 countries. Deeply interested in how different cultures operate, how geography influences innovation, and how people in different parts of the world approach problems.
Strong ties to Europe, especially Italy. Those roots run deep, connecting family history to a wider sense of identity, taste, and perspective.
