Project Description:
The goal of our project was to help Justin Amevor identify the best way to grow his mission driven company, DoughBoyz, and apply improvements for his website to support his growth.
Project Sponsor:
DoughBoyz is a growing business with hunger relief, sustainability, and social justice in mind. Its founder initiated the idea of this business in 2016 during his undergraduate career at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, MA. The DoughBoyz mission is to tackle food insecurity by serving breakfast meals to paying customers and individuals in need alike, starting on a local scale and eventually spreading to surrounding communities.
