Very surprised not seeing a Yelp review for Aquillius, so happy to be the first one here. I live a few minutes away and had no idea that this innovation hub/coworking space/multi lab facilities even existed. Thanks to Eventbrite I learned about the Pitch (Im) perfect event, where people from various startups or just individuals with ideas expose them in front of a group to receive feedback. This was an awesome first experience and won't be the last one.
If you are one of those who, like me, tend to think that everyone there would be more than you (intelligence, qualifications, expertise) then flip the script and think: this would be an excellent opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and meet all kinds of people from different backgrounds, learn how to become a better listener and a constructive feedback giver. Unfortunately, I did not have any ideas to pitch myself but I participated in asking questions and providing input.
My friend and I got a tour of the facilities by one of the founders. She was excellent at informing about new upcoming events. She showed various lab spaces (this is mostly targeting biotech communities and startups) but anyone can rent a cubicle or a lab bench or rent space for conferences.
Very spacious and lots of light, this used to be a company that made printers years back. I felt a bit like back in Silicon Valley today! read more
