Rochester has broken the top 10 on Entrepreneur Magazines "50 Best Cities for Entrepreneurs" for the first time. This is a significant jump from Rochester's 2016 ranking of #37.

Collider Community Update: Celebrating Female Entrepreneurs
I was extremely honored to attend last week's "Women's Demo NIght" hosted by Collider member Rochester Rising. It was so great to see a diverse range of businesses that have been started by female entrepreneurs in the Rochester area. Continued success to Vyriad, Go Audio, Med City Doulas, and Grand Rounds Brewing Company.
I especially like this emerging theme that has carried on since last year's Rochester Global Entrepreneurship Week: "Start Something". No matter who you are, you should be starting something great. There has never been a better time in our city to take a risk and pursue your passion.
