​What is it?

​Open Mic Night is a platform for local founders, researchers, technologists, and more to pitch companies, share ideas, and connect meaningfully with like-minded innovators. Enjoy free drinks, bites, and learn about the organizations and resources that can move your ideas forward.

​​​How much?

​Open Mic Nights are a free opportunity to immerse yourself in the local tech scene, put forth by TiE Pittsburgh (Technology & Innovation Entrepreneurs).
