Entrepreneur of the Month

Inspiring the Next Generation Through Alumni Stories

Overview

“Bentley students have been entrepreneurs for generations” Bentley University President Brent Chrite. Jan 2023  

To honor Bentley’s entrepreneurial legacy, the Bentley E-Hub celebrates the journeys of its alumni through the Entrepreneur of the Month (EOTM) initiative. From ideas sparked in Bentley classrooms and late-night conversations on campus to launching startups and building successful businesses, each entrepreneur has a unique story worth sharing. Told in their own words, these stories recognize alumni achievements and explore the experiences, challenges and lessons behind the ventures they have built—connecting our community, celebrating Bentley’s entrepreneurial spirit and inspiring students, alumni and future entrepreneurs to pursue their own paths.

Launching the Entrepreneur of the Month Initiative – LinkedIn

Entrepreneurship is about more than launching a company. It is about recognizing opportunities, navigating uncertainty and learning along the way. Each month, we spotlight an alum’s entrepreneurial journey: what sparked their idea, how they moved forward, what challenged them and what they want others to know. These stories offer a personal look at the people behind the ventures, and the many paths an entrepreneurial career can take.

How we build these stories

Each featured alum responds to a set of questions about their venture, entrepreneurial journey and lessons learned. Their responses form the foundation of a story that the E-Hub develops into formats for different channels, including LinkedIn, Instagram and other E-Hub communications. The format may change, but the focus stays the same: the entrepreneur’s experience, perspective and advice for others.
