Celebration of Entrepreneurship Luncheon

The Celebration of Entrepreneurship Luncheon marks the culmination of the Rochester Venture Challenge. After deliberation by a panel of expert judges, the first, second, and third place winners will be announced. This annual event allows us all to take a peek at some of the most promising new startups that are launching in our community, as well as to shine a spotlight on our growing entrepreneurial ecosystem.  Over 300 entrepreneurs, business leaders, and investors attended last year!

This year’s luncheon will also feature Craig Dubitsky, friendly founder of Hello Products and alumnus of the University of Rochester, as the keynote speaker.

In addition, you are invited to attend the Rochester Venture Challenge finalist presentations from 9:00 am – 11:00 am at the Hyatt Regency on April 27th. You can register when you purchase your tickets for the luncheon. Seating is limited.

Registration is now closed.
