This is a group for anyone ages 23-35 who is interested in networking with other young professionals in the area. Come to meet new people and share a drink after the work day! We will be meeting once a month in downtown Pittsburgh.

Co-working Pittsburgh was started to bring together all of the indie workers, entrepreneurs, free-wheeling creatives, and DIY-ers in the area. Let's learn who's out there and talk about ways to collaborate, conspire, create, and have fun. Ultimately, I plan to open (with some help) one or more co-working spaces that we can call home - these spaces can be part membership, part arthouse, part cafe - who knows?! The ideas, resources, and energy of all are invited to build something exciting.

Questions about crowd-funding? Come get some answers... Been there, done that? Come pay it forward... Organized by @Crowdasaurus, a Pittsburgh-based startup that is creating a regional crowdfunding ecosystem.
