For the last podcast of 2020, we want to introduce you to the final new Collider team member, Sara-Louise Henry. This Rochester native was drawn to the role of an Ecosystem Navigator with Collider to empower entrepreneurially-minded women and to help people recognize their full potential as innovators, especially those who have experienced disproportionate access to resources. Tune in today to hear more of Sara-Louise’s story and learn more about how her role as an Ecosystem Navigator could help you find just the right business resource in the community.
