Entrepreneurs Abound in Rochester

Rochester is a city buzzing with activity. We have a lot going for us and one of the major areas we excel is in entrepreneurship.

Out in Henrietta there's HTR - High Technology of Rochester, an incubator that works with new companies to help them become all that they can be. A quick perusal of their website shows their commitment to success.

We also have the Simon Graduate School of Business which if forward thinking and focused on leadership. Their motto is: Where Thinkers Become Leaders. It's to their credit that they have two public facing blogs created to interact not only with the current students, but with media and the public. One is for the Office of Marketing and Communications and one is for Admissions (which has a great post on Anne Mulcahy this week).

One of the most famous entrepreneurs in the country is from Rochester. That would be Tom Golisano. He started Paychex with little cash and not a whole lot of business experience (from what I've heard) and built it into the outstanding success it is today. He'll be speaking at the Convention Center later this month on how the Sabres jumpstarted their brand. Promises to be an great event - and there is still sponsorship opportunities available, so I hear.

All in all, Rochester is a great place to do business, have fun, and create a world of opportunity. Come join us and see for yourself.
