Francisca BvindiCEO · Cowgirl Luxe Treats (CLT)Seeking Local Food Scientist / Recipe Developer - CalgaryHello I am the founder of Cowgirl Lux Treats , a Calgary-based startup launching a line of premium, freezer-to-air-fryer specialty treats. I am looking to connect locally here in Calgary (or Western Canada) with an experienced CPG Food Scientist, Culinary Formulator, or Commercial Recipe Developer to partner with us on our upcoming R&D and freeze-thaw formulation phase. What we are tackling: Formulating stable raw doughs designed for home freezing and air-fryer preparation. Perfecting texture, moisture retention, and uniform baking performance after freezing. Developing clean-label finishing sauces and components. Because we are setting up our production pathways locally, I would love to collaborate with someone familiar with the Alberta food manufacturing landscape or commercial incubator spaces. If you or someone you know takes on contract formulation work in the Calgary area, please let’s connect. Best regards, Francisca Bvindi Founder, Cowgirl Lux TreatsHear from our community of food innovators, CPG companies, and industry leaders who are transforming the Canadian food sector together.
CEO/Founder
“We had built our first prototype in Cambridge, Ontario and we really wanted to go to the next level which was putting it into a real-world environment. CFIN supported us financially for that project and it's made all the difference.”
Co-Founder and COO
“From the entire Cheffer team, we want to express our gratitude to CFIN for their support of our Intelligent Menu-Planning Assistant project. This award has made it possible for us to double down on building technology that can multiply the value we deliver to hospitality and foodservice operators across Canada.”
VP Sustainability & Communications
“Working with CFIN has been lovely. Their funding has obviously been a huge support but the network that they’re cultivating, and the introductions that they’ve made, how they individually care a lot about what we’re doing and accomplishing here makes all the difference.”
