Programs
Collider Coworking Space
Collider Foundation provided low-cost office space to new and growing businesses in the Rochester area through its Collider Coworking Space. This space works to activate, connect, and empower new and emerging entrepreneurs and businesses by connecting them to resource providers and mentors who are often co-located in the same space. A physical location to conduct business is often a significant barrier faced by emerging small businesses. The goal of the coworking space is to foster the growth of new companies in the Rochester area that will get their start in Collider Coworking and then move on to their own brick-and-mortar location in the next few years.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$170.8KEcosystem Navigation Services
