This episode of the Iowa Manufacturing Podcast features Grant Veenstra, Founder of Frozen Gains, a high-protein gelato company born from personal necessity and entrepreneurial grit. What started as a high school athlete's search for a better-tasting alternative to chalky protein shakes is now a full-fledged business on the rise. Grant shares how CyStarts, Iowa State University's entrepreneurship accelerator, helped him transform an idea into a market-ready product, providing mentorship, accountability, and access to vital resources along the way. As Grant prepares to graduate in December, he's diving headfirst into scaling Frozen Gains. But he can't do it alone. In this episode, we explore the partners and connections that could help take Frozen Gains to the next level—grocery and retail distribution, nutritionists serving specialized populations, and logistics experts who can move the product where it needs to go. From student founder to full-time food entrepreneur, Grant is a refreshing new face in Iowa's manufacturing community. Welcome, Grant—we're glad you're here!
