Helping you on your journey to success

Aileron is a non-profit organization created to strengthen communities by helping business owners lead and manage their companies, driving growth, innovation and jobs. Aileron is located within minutess of Huber Heights. In 1996, Clay Mathile--former owner of The Iams Company--created Aileron to help fuel private business and free enterprise, providing business owners with the tools and support they need to mature and succeed. Clay's journey to build Iams was full of sacrifice, determination and continuous learning, and he recognized that many people helped him along his path to success. Therefore, he's passionate about providing resources to others on the same journey. And it is through Aileron that Clay works to help these other business owners on their journey to success.
