Announcing an Additional Set of Office Hours!

Posted on March 9, 2010 by Mike| Leave a comment

We’re pleased to announce that we are opening another set of “office hours” for those interested in our Summer/Fall 2010 session of AlphaLab!

The response to the previously announced office hours has been terrific – so much so that they have already “sold out”!

Monday, April 5th from 12:30-2:00 PM is when we’re holding the additional office hours session here at AlphaLab. The meetings will be 20 minutes in length with members of the AlphaLab team to talk about your concept as well as ask questions and discuss the AlphaLab program.

While we encourage you to attend them in person, we also would like to welcome those who aren’t located in Pittsburgh to participate via conference call.

To register, please visit our registration website. Two slots are available for a given 20-minute time period. If a particular slot is grayed out, it has already been reserved. Please limit your team to one time slot.

Good luck!

AlphaLab Summer/Fall 2009 Application Cycle is Now Open!

Posted on March 23, 2009 by Mike| Leave a comment

On Friday afternoon we began to take applications for the Summer/Fall 2009 AlphaLab session which starts on June 15th, 2009!

We’ve introduced a new phase of our application cycle this time around:  Early Action.  What is Early Action and what’s it all about?

Early Action is a great opportunity for applicants to be considered and potentially accepted earlier in our general application cycle.     Some highlights include:

  • Early Action applicants will be invited to a meet-n-greet event with AlphaLab staff where they can interact and ask questions.
  • Early Action candidates that are accepted to AlphaLab will be able to get an early start on working on their companies and have early access to AlphaLab resources.
  • If an applicant is not accepted as part of AlphaLab Early Action, they will be re-considered as part of the general application period.

Check out the Early Action FAQs for additional information.

Want to see the questions without having to start an application?  Check out the PDF of our application questions.

The Early Action deadline is April 17th, 2009.  Our general application deadline is May 15th, 2009.

For questions or issues, please send an e-mail to apply (at) alphalab [dot] org.

Good luck!

Applications!

Have a great idea in the software or web space?  Have a working version already?  Think you’re doing something innovative around gaming?   Interested in spending 20-weeks in a great, collaborative space interacting with advisors and experts with $25k to boot?

We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting submissions from prospective applicants for our next cycle!  The application is submitted online, and can be saved so that you can resume it at a later time.  We also provide a readable version of the application to review beforehand, so you know what to expect.

We also love people with lots of great ideas… so if you have more than one please submit it!  However, note that you have to create a separate ID and submit a separate application.

Applications will be reviewed as they come in, so we encourage you to apply sooner rather than later.  The application period closes on October 15th, and we’ll be conducting interviews with selected companies in late October.

Good luck!
