Introducing Collider's Three Ecosystem Navigators
We are extremely excited to introduce to you our three new Ecosystem Navigators at Collider! These individuals will serve as connectors within the Rochester entrepreneurial ecosystem. Within the next month, they’ll be meeting with current and aspiring entrepreneurs in the community and connecting these innovators to the right business resource at the right time. We hope these efforts will help to lower barriers to entrepreneurship in this community, especially for those who have been systemically and historically marginalized, and will broaden and strengthen connections within our entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Julio Molina
Julio is originally from Ojinaga, Chihuahua, a small town in up north Mexico. He came to this beautiful country at the age of 10. What was meant for a family vacation ended up being his new home. From the age of ten to now 31 years old he has gained a lot of lessons through trial and error, especially through his career experiences and endeavors. He remembers going to sleep when he was young in Ojinaga dreaming and imagining becoming the best version of himself. He had no idea that it would turn into helping others become the best version of themselves. He is excited about the future and all the lives that he can have an impact in. Julio is a husband and a father of two beautiful girls now. His motivation is to focus on not forgetting the fundamentals of life and holding tight to the mentality of Do Great Be Great.
