It’s that time of year!  We are excited to announce that AlphaLab is now accepting applications for its Winter/Spring 2010 cycle!

AlphaLab is a catalyst for launching the next generation of software, web, mobile, and entertainment technology companies.  Created by Innovation Works, one of the nation’s most active seed-stage investors, AlphaLab provides funding, free office space, expert business advisors and services during its biannual program in Pittsburgh.  AlphaLab helps companies rapidly develop their technology, gain user feedback from early product releases, develop go-to-market strategies, and move towards a successful commercial launch.
