Why Pittsburgh?

Posted on August 17, 2009 by Jim| Leave a comment

When I told my friends in the Bay Area that we were moving from Palo Alto to Pittsburgh, many of them asked me about the tech scene in Pittsburgh. I tried to describe to them what I knew then about the city and the potential it had to become a tech region. Seven years later, that potential has become more evident and I am even more excited about the future of Pittsburgh, especially in technology. Sean Ammirati, CEO of mSpoke (an Innovation Works portfolio company) and an AlphaLab advisor, does a great job of describing why we love Pittsburgh in a post today on Center Networks. And he was able to make the case without even once referring to the Steelers, Penguins, or the fact that Pittsburgh is a great sports town.

Upcoming Event: Open Coffee Club at AlphaLab (Oct 1st at 9 AM)

Posted on September 29, 2008 by Mike| Leave a comment

This Wednesday, we’re hosting the Open Coffee Club of Pittsburgh at the AlphaLab offices at 2325 E. Carson in the Southside.

What is Open Coffee?

The main goal of Open Coffee is to make investment more transparent to entrepreneurs, and to move away from the formalized “pitch” to an open conversation. Investors can give entrepreneurs really valuable feedback, and this environment is meant to foster that in a pressure-free way.

The AlphaLab team will also be available to answer questions about our program and the open application cycle.

If you’re a entrepreneur this is a great event to have informal conversation, speak with others about your business, and learn about AlphaLab!

Open Coffee starts at 9 AM.  You can read more here (http://www.mypunchbowl.com/partypage/3b3e47b197ef0270)

Hope to see you there!
