Two opportunities for our Hispanic-owned businesses to grow and win larger contracts:
Built to Scale (Rochester)
A 6-month cohort for established construction/trades businesses ready to compete for larger contracts. You'll get bid/RFP strategy, estimating and procurement readiness, direct connections to industry partners, plus a $1,250 stipend upon completion.
Not for early-stage startups; this is for contractors already doing the work and ready to scale.

NYS Projects Pop-Up Series (Empire State Development)
Free, in-person events connecting MWBEs and small businesses with decision-makers on state-affiliated projects. Meet face-to-face with project leads, get on-the-spot support from financing/bonding and business advisory reps, and learn about upcoming procurement opportunities. New dates are added regularly, so check the page and register early — space is limited.
