4:06Now PlayingThe conversation at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center’s Milestone Summit kept circling back to one question: what impact are you actually trying to make, for your community and for yourself? Founders and program leaders talked candidly about looking past venture capital to alternative funding, treating community not as a nice-to-have but as infrastructure, and why "mission has to matter, and be measurable" if it's going to survive the hard stretches of building a company.
It's a look at what founders don't always say on stage: the real cost of going it alone, and why access to capacity matters as much as access to capital.
