Get to Know our Entrepreneur in Residence, Kelly Collier!
Kelly Collier, Entrepreneur in Residence What inspired you to become an entrepreneur? I was more of an accidental entrepreneur. I never really sought out to become an entrepreneur, but once I found myself in a situation where I had a product that I truly believed could help a lot of people, I couldn’t stand the thought of the wasted potential if it never reached the market. I also realized that even though this product may have been a great idea, it’s not like other people are going to be lining up to put in the work and take on the risk trying to commercialize it if I wasn’t willing to myself. Ultimately, I was more inspired by the opportunity than I was fearful of the challenge, and I think that’s a recipe that encourages many first time entrepreneurs to take the leap.
