March 7, 2022: This week in the Rochester entrepreneurial ecosystem
Welcome to another week in our entrepreneurial ecosystem!
Events are back at Collider! First off, don't miss out on our brand new Walk In Wednesdays recurring series. This event will take place on Wednesday March 9th from 11AM-12:30PM within the Collider coworking space (221 1st Ave SW, Suite #202). We'll be joined by representatives from Rochester Area Economic Development Inc, the Small Business Development Center, and CliftonLarsonAllen to answer your business questions and get you connected to just the right resources. This is a low pressure, no appointment needed way to connect with multiple business resources in one spot and get your questions answered on how to start or scale a business in this community. We hope to see you there!
After two years of being gone, our free days of coworking are also back. Join us starting at 9AM on March 17th to spend the day in our coworking space and experience the Collider community. All are welcome to attend. Due to space constraints, we do ask you to register so we will know to expect you that day.
And lastly, we were honored this week to announce that we are a 2022 recipient of a $100,000 grant from Mayo Clinic's Community Contribution Program. We are so grateful to Mayo Clinic for supporting the work we do to create a community with zero barriers to entrepreneurship. These funds are critical to continue our work in this community. A huge thank you to all of our past Collider team members, including Julio Molina, Sara-Louise Henry, Kristopher Derwin Loving, Senior, and especially Jamie Sundsbak for their invaluable contributions to Collider Foundation that made this possible. I look forward to the work our current team will do to build on this strong foundation.
