Whether you're launching a new product, growing an existing business, or preparing to sell at markets and online, The Foundry's Business & Product Lab provides hands-on support to help you move your business forward. Through practical workshops, one-on-one mentoring, and access to makerspace resources, participants build the skills needed to develop products, strengthen their brand, improve their digital presence, and increase sales. The program follows a step-by-step pathway—from Ideate and Build to Brand, Show, Go Digital, and Go to Market—covering topics such as product design and prototyping, branding, packaging, product photography, e-commerce, inventory management, financial planning, marketing, and preparing for trade shows and retail opportunities.

Workshops are offered throughout the year, with each topic typically offered 1-2 times annually.
