January 24, 2022: This week in the entrepreneurial ecosystem

Welcome to another week in our entrepreneurial ecosystem!

Our Collider Happy Hours are back! These meetups are now being held each Thursday from 4:30-5:30PM at different locations around Rochester, so check our Facebook page to keep up to date with the latest information. This week we'll be at ThaiPop in downtown Rochester. These Happy Hours are open to anyone in the community. We hope to see you there.

Mark your calendars for the return of the WE (Women Entrepreneurs) Forums in 2022! This group next gathers (virtually) this Thursday, January 27th from 8-9AM. The topic this month is "Finding Your People: Creating Your Support Structure." Scroll below in the newsletter for more details, but we hope that many of you can connect in for what promising to be an uplifting and informative conversation. Please register here to attend and receive the Zoom link.

And lastly, this week the City of Rochester and Destination Medical Center are hosting an event for current or aspiring African American entrepreneurs who are interested in learning more about construction opportunities in the city. This event is for anyone to learn about local business resources, understand more about the bidding process on local projects, and learn about minority business certification. Registration for the event will close tomorrow January 24th. Interested individuals should contact Jorrie Johnson by email at jjohnson@rochestermn.gov or phone at (507) 328-2016.
