From Foodpreneur to Business Mentor
Every entrepreneur faces a moment when they decide if they\u2019re\xa0all in.
For\xa0Belinda DiGiambattista, it was one weekend when she and her husband agonized over whether to take out a loan out against their home in order to fund a much-needed upgrade to her food business\u2019 kitchen. They could have lost everything.
Instead, DiGiambattista\u2019s focus, drive, and unrelenting optimism catapulted her first company, Butter Beans \u2014 a business whose mission it is to provide healthy lunch menus for public, private, and charter schools \u2014 to a multi-million-dollar revenue business. After nine years, she successfully sold the company for an undisclosed amount. She says she is now \u201cfinancially comfortable.\u201d
DiGiambattista, who earned her MBA from New York University\u2019s Stern School of Business, decided the valuable lessons she learned as an entrepreneur could be sold as online classes on the platform Teachable. She is now an \u201cinfopreneur\u201d who ran her first successful pilot this fall and plans to relaunch\xa0her full-blown course\xa0in the\xa0coming months.
Listen to what it means to grow up on a farm, move to the Big Apple, bootstrap your business for nine years, and succeed. Get ready to be inspired.
