April 25, 2022: This week in the Rochester entrepreneurial ecosystem
Welcome to another week in our entrepreneurial ecosystem.
First off, I wanted to say congratulations to Collider member Nate Nordstrom on his latest entrepreneurial endeavor with New Spin Bicycle Shop! Nate hosted the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce's Business After Hours at his business just the past week, giving us all a chance to experience what he has built. It has been incredible to see the growth of Brandhoot, Nate's other business, within the Conely-Maass-Downs building, and it will be incredible to see what this business does in the community.
Last week, Collider was honored to co-host a roundtable event with Destination Medical Center and Rochester Are Economic Development Inc. The event facilitated a discussion between the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development Commissioner Steve Grove and local leadership about the state and value of the local innovation ecosystem. You can check out a recap of this event here.
And lastly, we hope you all can join us this Thursday for our next free day of coworking and happy hour. This is a great way to experience the Collider community and the incredible innovators and starters that exist within our ecosystem. Coworking will run from 9AM-4:30PM, with happy hour at CRAVE from 4:30-5:30. Please consider joining in! Please see more details below in the newsletter.
