Most people never think of themselves as founders. They think founders are people with MBAs, pitch decks, and a co-founder they met at Stanford. They're not. A founder is anyone with an idea worth building — and right now, for the first time, that actually means anyone.

Pittsburgh knows this better than most. The city that rebuilt itself from steel to robotics to AI didn't do it by waiting for permission. It did it by building. That same spirit is what this afternoon is about.

Come spend an afternoon with founders, builders, and people figuring it out as they go. It's a relaxed, hands-on time to bring your idea to life alongside others doing the same — no competition, no pressure, just building.

Whether you have a fully-formed idea or just a vague sense that something should exist, come find out what building actually looks like.
