HTR Affiliate Program

The HTR Affiliate Program supports Rochester-area start-up and emerging enterprises through connections to key resources.  Through this 2-year program, entrepreneurs can increase their management knowledge, access excellent service providers, connect to academic and government resources, and participate in ongoing HTR events.  Included in your membership, an initial goal-setting meeting and mid-term review with HTR staff helps set the stage for you to meet your business objectives.

Becoming an Affiliate provides opportunities for entrepreneurial networking and access to the HTR community through regular participation at events.  Beyond invitation to the InfoBytes monthly luncheon series, your Affiliate membership enables you to access consulting services at preferred rates through HTR's internal experts.  As an Affiliate, you are also eligible to access our exclusive Success Tracks, which are not available to those outside of the HTR Community.

Benefits

• Participation in monthly InfoBytes luncheon series
• Eligibility to purchase Success Tracks, including Business Plan Review
• Participation in seminars and special events at preferred rates
• Use of the HTR Multimedia Center at preferred rates
• Referral and preferential access to proven professionals in accounting, legal, and other services

• Recognition and connections through HTR Affiliate listing in print and HTR web site

Your investment

As a venture, your only required investment to be an HTR Affiliate is your annual membership fee.  You are encouraged to participate in HTR programs and purchase additional services as needed. Supplemental HTR staff consultation is also available on an hourly fee basis as needed.  The annual fee for the HTR Affiliate program is $350.

The HTR Affiliates program is a great way to learn more about starting your business and accessing the resources you need to get the best start.  Furthermore, should you choose to locate your business at HTR within the first six months of your Affiliate Membership, we will credit your annual membership fee against your HTR Client office space rent.
