Rochester Open Coffee Club
Upcoming
Starting April 2023, ROCC meetings will be in person!
Bringing together founders, investors and community stakeholders to build Rochester’s startup & entrepreneurial climate. ROCC is a group of Rochester and Roc region professionals who want to see the start-up and entrepreneurial climate THRIVE! We meet weekly to share knowledge, learn about regional business opportunities, and learn from area business people and B2B companies. We work to grow the business environment in Rochester by helping to guide start-up business owners through a variety of questions and concerns. We also connect business with individuals and companies that support businesses in the area, no matter what size, industry, or phase.
Meetings and presentations:
In-person: third Wednesday or Friday of each month from 8:00 am to 9:30 am. See details below.
Meetup Format
We meet once per month, first Wednesday, via zoom, and once per month, third Wednesday, in person.
Meetings may include a presentation, members providing feedback to pitches and business issues, or networking, or any combination of these.
Upcoming Presentations & Events
ROCC meets in person, regardless of whether a presentation is scheduled. If there’s no presenter, we have topical discussions or networking activities.
