The Golisano Institute has unveiled a collaboration with GrowthX to bolster local entrepreneurship. The partnership hopes to invigorate the local economy and attract more startup investment by furnishing startups with mentorship and strategic coaching programs. The Institute is also improving its academic entrepreneurship offerings to align with its mission of stimulating innovation, which aligns with GrowthX’s similar objectives.
The collaboration aims to support 15 businesses from Rochester and Buffalo, chosen and timed for a demanding 16-week sales program. This training aims to provide the tools and strategies these businesses need to thrive in their markets, enhancing their skills to adapt to unpredictable market scenarios and bolster their existing sales infrastructure.
