Supporting Pittsburgh Entrepreneurs

Filed Under Pittsburgh Legal Matters
I know for my first blog post I should be talking about 1-2-3 Law’s new website and what 1-2-3 Law Group is about. However, I am not going to do that. There will be plenty of time for my partner Brian Walters and I to do posts like that over the next few years. What I’d like to talk about now is one of my favourite topics -Pittsburgh Entrepreneurship - and some of the group/events I have promoted to give everyone an update. The most recent event is DevHousePgh to help cultivate the software development community in Pittsburgh. For detailed information on this event, I’d suggest visiting our website www.devhousepgh.org. However, I want to add that co-event promoter Jeff Hunter and I hope this event is as successful as the ongoing San Francisco event Super Happy Dev House which it is modeled after. We already have 35 RSVP’s from software developers, database creators, graphics experts, and other techies to go along with the dozens of people who have said they intend to come to the Rivers Club on Nov. 8th from 6PM - Midnight. We also have some outstanding sponsors who have been very supportive in getting the word out. At this point, we are pleased the event has every possibility of being a success and having our goal of 50 plus people attend. Now if the event can turn into economic development for Pittsburgh in the form of more software development, we have hit a home run.
I’d also like to put in a brief word on E-Lifelines and where it stands. I know E-Lifelines had a very successful Spin Networking event last year to go along with 2 extremely well attended speaking events. However, given my current two start up businesses (1-2-3 Law Group and Streaming Placements), it is likely that E-Lifelines will not be as active as it was in 2006. (Sorry, I gotta sleep sometime 
). However, I would like to do some targetted E-Lifeline events such as another Spin Networking event for Entrepreneurs to connect people who have succeeded as Entrepreneurs with start up Entrepreneurs. If someone wants to help me with this that would be great. If not, then look for another E-Lifelines event to occur in February which is when I can personally calendar it to happen. However, if anyone is starting a business and wants some mentoring, I will continue to try to help either personally or by asking someone else to help mentor you. I am just sorry that I can’t promote E-Lifelines mentoring as aggressively as I would like right now.
Feel free to comment to this post or better yet, let me know if you’d help me with some of these volunteer efforts.
Thanks again.
