Purpose
The purpose of the Falcon Advantage is to provide a structured, relationship-driven platform that enables Bentley alumni entrepreneurs to give back to the community while growing their businesses. By offering curated discounts and benefits to students, faculty, staff, and fellow alumni, the initiative fosters trust, visibility, and long-term connections within the Bentley family.
