Building an entrepreneurial ecosystem has traditionally meant focusing on what Ebony Miller-Wesley calls "opportunity entrepreneurs" looking to build high-tech, high-growth businesses. Yet for "necessity entrepreneurs," the needs are different as is their access to resources, capital and education.

...But the conversation is changing! Ebony is leading that change as the Director of the RIT Center for Urban Entrepreneurship (CUE), which both provides business and consulting services and also acts as a hub to connect urban entrepreneurs to the other resources available throughout the ecosystem in Rochester.

Although the CUE is still in its early stages and continues to evolve, Ebony has been speaking at national conferences to leaders in other communities that want to learn from this evolving model. Tune in to this episode to hear how Ebony and the CUE are building a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem in Rochester!
