Business Buzz From Our Friends at Innovation Works  Recently Innovation Works partnered with Ernst & Young poured over data from 2008–2012 to look for investment trends and highlights in our region’s growing technology sector. I'm excited that we're releasing the report, Optimizing Opportunities, at 3Rivers Venture Fair and through this newsletter.  The positive trends in this report speak to Pittsburgh's diversified economy and the supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem that has been built up over the last 20 years. $1.3B was invested in local early stage technology companies during the worst economic recession of our lives—a true indicator of our region's resilience with a broad-based economy comprised of software, information technology, medical devices and other sectors. The number of early-stage companies attracting funding has dramatically increased—with pre-revenue companies nearly doubling. These funds are coming from our local seed and angel community as well as national venture firms who have their eye on our region. And for good reason—over 2011–2012 alone, we've had 28 company exits that generated $2B in disclosed value. download our report and share the positive trends and figures with your colleagues. It's amazing to see how far Pittsburgh has come in the last five years. Just imagine where we'll be in another five.  Yours truly, Rich Lunak, President & CEO, Innovation Works Duquesne University SBDC Presents Entrepreneur's Growth Conference May 10, 2013 Location: Duquesne University Time: 8am-4:30pm Cost: Full day (before April 15th) $99              Full day (after April 15th) $119              Half day (with lunch) $79              Lunch only $50 Click here for workshop details.  Register Now!

Joyce Kane The Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre’s (PICT) production of “Our Class” is a riveting and relentless story that has at its fundamental core the theme of man’s inhumanity to man. As emotionally draining as the play is for the audience, one cannot imagine how the small but dedicated troupe can continue the pace of an almost three hour production spanning seven decades.  Director Aoife Spillane-Hinks makes her U.S. directing debut with “Our Class”, perhaps drawing in part from the civil unrest in her native Ireland to explore the age-old neighbor as neighbor, neighbor as villain and neighbor as victim dynamics.  Rather than the refrain of ‘What could I do?’, perhaps they should have asked ‘What can I do?’ The audience is led to counter with ‘What should I do’ to their own introspective ‘What would I do?’. “Our Class” runs from April 10th through May 4th at the Henry Heymann Theatre at the Stephen Foster Memorial, University of Pittsburgh’s Oakland campus. Read the full review here.  Downtown Rotary Meeting  I was invited by membership Director Kelli Robbins multiple times but this time could not resist attending at the last minute. A Roving Reporter covering a media person speaking and I was not disappointed. It's one thing to make a marriage work. It's another to make a divorce work.  Nan Cohen is the host of "Dealing with Divorce," an hour long show on KQV 1410-AM every Thursday at 7 p.m. Nan talked about how she started in the business by promoting a doctor whose practice she managed with a radio show and getting into radio when he sold the practice. She also talked about her book entitled "Dealing with Divorce: Reality Revealed." The Downtown Pittsburgh Rotary is ranked twentieth in the country out of over 1,300 chapters. Met so many amazing people. It is one of the best kept secrets in Pittsburgh. McConnell’s Mill  Located across from Morraine State Park. The highlight is a grist mill built over 100 years ago where you can learn about how flour was made from different grains. Also Tamar Cerafici says there are miles of great hiking tours and also repelling on rocks. Great fishing on Slippery Rock creek, too. You can even just go 40 minutes from Pittsburgh and just sit on the rocks in the sun. No admission fee, trails always open. Bring your hiking boots. Also stop at Muddy Creek Bar-B-Q right on Highway 19 just past Portersville and near McConnell’s Mill Park. Visit their website here. Penn Avenue Fish Market 2208 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15222 308 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15222 I think their slogan is “Always something healthy cooking.” Had an amazing sashimi platter which was decorated by sashimi that looked like flowers for $9.99 and the seaweed salad was absolutely the best and unique that I have ever had. Frozen Four Friends  My buddy Kelli Robbins, who owns absolutely the best call and direct fulfillment center in the state, invited me to Luke Wholey’s. First trip there and she and I met some great friends from Minneapolis in for the Frozen Four. There were probably eight in the group and they all decided that they want to move to Pittsburgh. Sue Eidem and her husband Chris said that they had not gotten out of the strip district after staying in Oakland and that they had not stopped eating since 8 AM because the food in Pittsburgh was so great. You will be able to check out the Roving Pittsburgh Report later today for all of the wonderful pictures of Kelli and I and our new friends. My camera was charging in the car and this crew was so accommodating to not only take pictures but send them to me. One of the Minneapolis crew, Michael Navin sent me a message yesterday with the pictures: “As promised, here are the pictures Kelly took of us at Luke's. I left them big so we can all bask in all our glory. I'm home safely, and hope yinz are too." "Thank you Michael for the pictures and us Yinzers are doing great." Oysters Group Picture Luke Wholey’s Wild Alaskan Grill 2106 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, 412.904.4509  Speaking of new friends I think Luke Wholey is my new best friend. When he found out I was from PositivelyPittsburghLive and that I loved seafood, he began to ply me with samples. You can see my picture of the Oyster Rockefeller above, probably the best I have ever eaten in the city. You will notice the different varieties and sizes and don’t ask me which ones, but one variety was so buttery tasting RAW that I could eat them daily. This is the Belon from Maine, write that down. Also had some amazing shrimp stuffed with crabmeat that was absolutely yummy and cooked to perfection. Luke was still cooking but I had to leave to pick up my granddaughter and daughter-in-law for my next adventure at Vintage Week-End at Heinz History Center. Hats off to Luke Wholey’s great place to eat and drink (although I was not, I am a one glass of wine gal) Also great place to make new friends like my new pals from Minneapolis. Vintage Fashion Show at Heinz  If you can believe it I took my five year old granddaughter, Anaiyah. Mom had a long day at work and she had been at daycare all day so we picked her up. Test of an interesting evening is if you can keep a five year old's attention. This one was delighted. Both the sixties music and fashions were outstanding and we got to meet and get pictures of several local models. We met Shaneka Lavae and not only were these ladies our favorites and very poised and confident but they were delightful and very attentive to a five year old fan.
