Welcome to the Pittsburgh chapter of Pitch and Run which originated in New York City by VCs and startup founders. This is open to all runners or walkers; bonus for those who are currently building and working in the world of startups. This is a great way to network, build relationships or friendships within those in the Pittsburgh startup ecosystem.

Pittsburgh’s Biomedical Sector has long been very siloed. The medical professionals and university researchers do not interact with private industry enough and vice versa. Big companies and small companies are often completely disconnected.
The BioBreakfast is an attempt to bridge the divides between the disparate groups that shape the regional biomedical sector. Most importantly, the Breakfasts try to spur informal networking so that people can build stronger networks and help identify opportunities and individuals they can work with to advance ideas.
The BioBreakfasts happen every Tuesday unless that Tuesday is a National Holiday. Otherwise, they are on. You do not need to register. There is no cost. Just show up and take part.
In partnership with Pittsburgh Social Health, we're hosting free coworking out of our space every other Friday in July and August.

Work around people doing cool stuff
