Silicon Valley, Silicon Alley, Silicon Hills and now Silicon Mills.
We are continually asking ourselves what makes an innovation city. Better yet, the question is what needs to exist in order for a city to thrive and become a city of innovation.
At its core, we believe it is a culture that is focused on becoming one and is motivated to do so. With a motivated culture, creativity and action produce the iterations that grow and change a place until it becomes more than it was before. When that happens the seed of innovation has been planted.
We believe the world is looking for more places for innovation and we believe that the seed has been planted in Pittsburgh.
This blog is intended as a place to grow a set of content and information about the venture, investment and innovation community in Western Pennsylvania (from the local entrepreneurial ecosystem to the biggest successes in the region) so our progress can be seen from beyond our borders.
It is also intended as a resource for our local community to get a better understanding of the happenings and opportunities within our own region.
