Distillery Labs

✨ Join us today for an evening of innovation and entrepreneurship in the Greater Peoria region! Starting at 4:00 PM, we’ll have a cocktail hour to connect with founders, followed by “Shark Tank” style pitches at 5:30 PM, where you’ll see innovative ideas come to life. From 7:00 PM, stick around for the Founder After Party—a perfect opportunity to network with entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors. If you can’t attend in person, join the livestream on Facebook or YouTube. Let’s celebrate innovation together! 📅 Youtube details: https://ow.ly/VpRL50Tm4HI #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Peoria

I am so thrilled to be a part of the Greater Peoria Economic Development Council as we are relocating our offices to Distillery Labs in the heart of Peoria's downtown! The energy is electric, and the space is incredible to cowork and pursue your professional aspirations! What is Distillery Labs? This place is a catalyst for the entrepreneurial spirit: incubate, launch, find funding, find mentors, find partners, find grants, find support, find a shoulder to cry on. Here, you can fail gracefully, you can win big, you can grow, you can take baby steps, you can take a blind leap, you can support - we're all in this to see everyone be the best version of themselves and to help ideas THRIVE. Besides, look at this place! You WANT to be here. Come grab a cuppa from Cafe Santa Rosa and chat with staff about making Distillery Labs your new co-working space and learn about all the great amenities included with that! FOLLOW YOUR DREAM! Launch that crazy napkin idea. Now everything you need for it is in ONE place - there is nothing holding you back!
