We had the good fortune of connecting with Alden Chance and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alden, the decisions we make often shape our story in profound ways. What was one of the most difficult decisions you’ve had to make?
To Chase the Dream or Go Find a Job.

What should our readers know about your business?
TropiRollz is the worlds first NO RAW Caribbean Fusion Sushi “Virtual” restaurant where we represent ONE Cuisine with many delights uniting the heart of the Caribbean in every bite. I am most proud of how much TropiRollz has grown into a successful business and am excited for what it will become.

However, it was not an easy road. Like others, many trials and tribulations came my way such as funding, marketing strageties, financials etc. And then I came across the SBDC at FIU. They helped me understand my business as whole. After working with their advisors and implementing the knowledge I received and learnt, results were seen.

Many lessons were learnt along the way and I continue to learn lessons as we continue to grow. This journey has taught me patience, discipline, consistency, persistency and a better understanding of what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
shoutout to my Wife, my Family, my Team, my Mentors and Advisors over at the SBDC at FIU and the Ten North Group.
