If you would like to learn more about the program, you can attend one of the upcoming events at AlphaLab, located at 2325 East Carson Street in Pittsburgh’s South Side. AlphaLab team members will be at these events to answer any questions you may have about the program and to help you determine whether your business idea is a good fit for the program. You can also meet others who are interested in the program and a few of the current AlphaLab teams. We will provide an overview of the program at some point during the event.
