New Blog

There are some great conversations going on in the Pittsburgh blogosphere about startup tech companies and Pittsburgh’s entrepreneurial environment. In particular, I’ve read with great interest the posts of Mike Madison at Pittsblog, and Harold Miller at Pittsburgh’s Future. With this blog, I’ll try to add another perspective to the conversation, from the point of view of someone who, for the past seven years at Innovation Works, has had the privilege of working with a large number of our region’s most talented tech entrepreneurs.

The blog’s name, “Pittsburgh Ventures,” does not refer to a specific initiative or fund, but rather is meant to indicate that the discussion on this blog will focus on new (primarily tech related) ventures in the Southwestern PA region, as well as on the act of “venturing,” as it applies to entrepreneurs, investors and the region as a whole.

I’ll try to post as frequently as possible, and I welcome input, suggestions and ideas from all sources.
