“You learn more from one real customer than a year of planning.”
Their journey
Daniel sold custom sneakers out of his locker — his first taste of entrepreneurship. He studied at Babson, worked in retail strategy, then founded a sustainable-goods e-commerce company that now employs fifteen people.
He mentors student entrepreneurs and sponsors the school's annual pitch competition.
Advice to current students
Start the small, scrappy version now. You learn more from one real customer than from a year of planning the perfect launch.
