Pittsburgh had a buzz all week. The New York Yankees were in town, and had lost big in their first game. While the Pirates and Yanks fought on the three rivers, some of Pittsburgh finest new minds converged on the Alpha Lab in the south side. Alpha Lab is the culmination of lots of hard work by too many people to mention, and a grass roots effort to incubate idea engineers of all digital disciplines. The real “at-a-boy” goes to Innovation Works for continuing to sew the seeds of success.

The overall feel of the Alpha Lab space is open and free. The kind of place you can develop, network or develop a network. Lavations and hors-devours provided fuel for conversation. 

The recent influx of incubators and (early stage) start-up support is much overdue. The potential of Pittsburgh and their digital community, to provide the next advancements in technology can now be realized and pursued. Groups like Alpha Lab, DevHouse Pittsburgh and many others will continue to support the growth of our regions techno-talented and provide opportunity for those who dare to dream.
