 Hello all and Happy Friday,

Our team at Collider is pleased to share with you all a learning report from our past two years of work in the community providing Ecosystem Navigation services, rapidly connecting Rochester entrepreneurs to the right business resource at the right time to accelerate their entrepreneurial journey.

 

This work was funded by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.

 

This program met its goal to assist 50 Female, Black, or Latinx entrepreneurs 4 months ahead of schedule, assisting 102 entrepreneurs by December 2021. This work removed or reduced a barrier for 91% of the entrepreneurs it assisted. Entrepreneurs involved in this work went on to create 40 jobs locally in Rochester, MN since October 2020.

 

Thank you all so much in the role you all have played with Collider over the past few years.

 

 

 

Please feel free to distribute this report within your networks. I would be happy to speak 1:1 about this work and the outcomes with each of you as well.

About Beam

Community Beam (dmcbeam.org) is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects, initiatives, programs) that underpin economic and social developments of greater Rochester:

  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
