It’s almost time for one of the most anticipated events of the fall, at least if you’re a Pittsburgh startup founder and employee: the inaugural Pgh Startup Community Awards.
Throughout this year, XchangePgh has hosted events designed to encourage connection and innovation. On Nov. 10, that continues with a celebration that will spotlight Pittsburgh innovation.
You made your nominations, but before the celebration can commence, the organizers need your help to decide who should go home with an award next month. So, from Startup of the Year to the Lifetime Achievement Award, if you have any thoughts on which companies or people most deserve the spotlight, make your voice heard by voting by Nov. 7. To the nominees, may the odds be ever in your favor.
The 2023 nominees are below. Happy voting!
