      When you try something new, you inevitably attract haters. So not being deterred by haters is one of the skills you need in order to make change happen. Like most skills, it's a combination of natural ability and practice. But don't expect not to have to practice.

      I wish I was kidding. He met me in 2016. Later that week, he said that was moving. I know I had nothing to do with the move, but still... 😂

      This was a strong positive signal: once pg learned you were also from pgh, he realized his life’s work was complete; that the steel city was on its way to becoming a startup hub

      Hilarious. I was on a panel where I asked two questions: Q: Who is working on a startup? A: *everyone raises hands* Q: Who's in college? A: *everyone puts their hands down*

      Pittsburgh unis in particular say they want startups, but aren’t super conducive to actually doing it, hence why Paris and I both ended up leaving. Ex: When we had just started the company we were told applying to YC and Techstars was a waste of time because we were too early

      Who told you it was too early? YC is happy to fund people with no more than idea. (cc @stephaniersimon)

      There's a group of predators in the Pittsburgh ecosystem that don't want startups to leave the region. I'm doing my best to combat that group.

      Yipes, and they'd actually lie to keep them there? That's like an abusive relationship.

          Yes. There's pay to pitch. Investors stealing entrepreneurs's ideas. It's a mess.

          Our solution has been to not take money from Pittsburgh people. But it’s still a really cheap place to live.

          Don't discriminate against every investor in the city. They can't all be bad.
