What If?
It’s the first question on every entrepreneur's mind. What if I could change that? What if this existed? What if we did it differently? What if other people wanted what I was creating? What if I actually succeeded?
Our alumni have started hundreds of businesses around the world. They are innovating, creating change, and driving the future. And we want to tell you those stories. WHAT IF… is a collection of conversations with entrepreneurs from the Belmont community telling us the story behind their "what if..." We can't wait to tell you these stories.
