A web-based app called “Roch Strong” is now live to help “our community businesses and nonprofits...overcome COVID-19 and stay strong.” 

The app was rapidly developed in about forty-eight hours by volunteers from Rochester-based BrandHoot and Collider to fill a pressing need in the community. While most apps normally take months to create, “Roch Strong” was designed to be rapidly rolled out into the Rochester community to help our entrepreneurs, business owners, and nonprofits now.

The app also has additional data input from the Rochester Downtown Alliance, Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce, and Rochester Area Economic Development.

About Beam

Community Beam (dmcbeam.org) is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects, initiatives, programs) that underpin economic and social developments of greater Rochester:

  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
