The Pittsburgh Entrepreneurs Forum started as the Pittsburgh chapter of the MIT Enterprise Forum as part of a global network of local organizations, inspired by the Massachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT), and open to the world. The mission: To inform, connect and coach technology entrepreneurs—enabling them to rapidly transform ideas into world-changing companies. In 2016, it became obvious that Pittsburgh had evolved. The entrepreneurial ecosystem was no longer just tech based, and our local universities had made the association with MIT at the very least, unnecessary. So, as of March 1, 2017, we changed the name and became a separate organization, in recognition of these facts. We are proud to a have as board members, folks representing the major schools in the area, as well as various support organizations and other making a difference in the entrepreneurial community. We serve Pittsburgh's entrepreneurial community by hosting leading-edge events and fostering new connections.
