TechCrunch Heads to Pittsburgh

TechCrunch City Spotlight: Heading to Pittsburgh

This year has been filled with exciting opportunities to connect with innovators in various cities. We’ve gained valuable insights into the current tech landscape of Miami and explored the developments within Detroit.

Our next destination is Pittsburgh! Registration for this free event is now open.

Pittsburgh: A City of Innovation

On June 29th, the TechCrunch City Spotlight will arrive in Pittsburgh, also known as The Iron City, The River City, and Blitzburgh. This city offers a unique combination of rich history and cutting-edge technology.

Initial reports highlight advancements in medical technology, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. However, we anticipate uncovering even more exciting developments with assistance from our local source.

Pittsburgh's Tech Roots and Rising Stars

Interestingly, the founding story of Kleiner Perkins has its origins in Pittsburgh. Furthermore, Will Allen, a former Steelers safety, has transitioned into the venture capital world.

Duolingo is currently experiencing significant growth. Recently, Natasha Mascarenhas authored a comprehensive four-part EC-1 series on the company, which now boasts 500 million registered learners.

These are just a few of the areas we’ve been investigating as we prepare for the event.

Join the Conversation

We are planning engaging panels with prominent figures from the Pittsburgh tech community and will be welcoming special guests.

This is where you come in! If you are developing innovative solutions in Mark Cuban’s former stomping grounds, we are eager to learn about your work.

We will be hosting a pitch feedback session, similar to those featured on Extra Crunch Live. Please drop us a note here, and you might have the chance to showcase why Pittsburgh is a thriving tech hub.

Register now and share any interesting or lesser-known facts about your city. (Please note, we are already aware of John Fetterman’s enthusiasm for Sheetz.)

We look forward to seeing you there!
