The map of the Pennsylvania tech startup community
- pinchyfingers 14y agoWhat's up Appsters? I'm reppin Bristol Borough. Not gonna disclose what I'm working on, I'll just say it's marketing related.
- scribblemacher 14y agoI see my hometown of Harrisburg isn't getting startup love. Kind of surprising; I've heard from friends and family still there that their economy is prettty strong. The cost of doing business there is probably a lot cheaper than the Philly area too.
- acoyfellow 14y agoThis just went live less than 24 hours ago. Feel free to reach out to them and see if they would like to add a pin!
- johnnyo 14y agoThere are numerous startups that have been spun off from PSU in the State College area.
- acoyfellow 14y agoI hope to capture every single one of them, eventually, on this map! I am debating seeding it with startups without their knowledge. Fortunately, of the 19 who are signed up, every single one has done it themselves (with exception of Gabe from DuckDuckGo, he tweeted me "permission"!)
- njx 14y agoThere were lot of startups who attended the latest phg tech meetup. I added mine(from pittsburgh) to the map but if you want a full picture I would recommend adding them yourself or let others add them. What harm does it do to the startup by listing here. I guess you can have a disclaimer at the bottom saying if you want to remove your startup from the list..do it here.. or email ..
- acoyfellow 14y agoI'm not saying I won't do that. I've got lots of ideas on the table right now, but I don't want to change much right in the middle of this HN spurt- I need to collect what I can with this rush.
- adandy 14y agoYou could add some data for Pittsburgh from this link: http://alphalab.org/companies/browse-by-cycle http://alphalab.org/companies/browse-by-cycle
- ashovlin 14y agoInnoblue, a student-run entrepreneurial group at Penn State has a list of startups founded by PSU students and alumni. It's not restricted to those still in the area though. http://innoblue.org/pages/psu-startups http://innoblue.org/pages/psu-startups
- tommyvyo 14y agoNice job Jordan! Would love to get together with yourself and others to see how we can all help each other out.
- ry0ohki 14y agoCan we add other people's companies/accelerators etc...? I could probably populate a lot of the Pittsburgh area quickly, but it looks like you have an approval process.
- acoyfellow 14y agoI don't feel comfortable personally adding other peoples companies without their permission, so I don't advocate it; but the "approval process" is just me clicking "Approve". So, that being said, if you'd like to add companies of friends/contacts, and feel ok signing up "for" them, feel free!
- ry0ohki 14y agoAwesome thanks, also you might want to start not zoomed in on the Philly area so you don't offend us westerners ;) Just noticed there actually are some other locations outside of Philly on the map already. Cool idea!
- acoyfellow 14y agoSomething I knew would eventually happen! What do you think of it now? It shows the whole state.
- rwhitman 14y agoLooks like Philly is missing a lot still, DreamIt Ventures and Independents Hall come to mind
- alexknowshtml 14y agoIf you have any interest in populating this with data from the http://weworkinphilly.com http://weworkinphilly.com API, drop me a line. Email in profile.
- singer 14y agoYour "Add Something" form does not allow apostrophes in the Company Name.
