A Community-Based Business | Alex Brandwein | TEDxUNC

After spending years working in industries that were part of a family legacy, what does it take to start over? The answer is a supportive and engaged community. In 2018, Alex chose to come to UNC for its MBA Program to explore his entrepreneurial passions, to cultivate his leadership skills and to develop the tools necessary to start a business. Alex immediately fell in love with the community and recognized an opportunity to share his love of New York-Style bagels by opening up a shop in downtown Chapel Hill. Alex could not have opened the shop without the support of UNC and the broader Chapel Hill/Carrboro community.
Alex is originally from New York and received his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2011. After college, Alex spent eight years in investment banking and private equity in Chicago and then New York. Outside of work, Alex enjoys everything: ice hockey, reading biographies, and listening to all types of podcasts. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
