Biz Labs Workshops with Distillery Labs

-

 




Biz Lab Workshops are an entrepreneurial education program at Distillery Labs. In the photo pictured above, Natural Fiber Welding’s Chief Technology Officer, Aaron Amstutz, taught everyone how to innovate by deliberately “failing fast.”  Aaron divided the room into groups for experiential learning, and together, we all discovered many unique sandwich creations.  It was a memorable and impactful Biz Lab, as everyone can bring that approach to their work.

 

Additionally, on the 4th Thursday of every month, mentors and mentees meet up to work through the Start a Business in Greater Peoria program supported by mentors from the SBDC, SCORE, MBDC, GPEDC, and gener8tor. In Customer Development, mentees learn to segment who their customers are and create customer personas and value propositions.
