Thoughts From The Most Active Investor In Robotics

The Pittsburgh renaissance has been covered in many places, including in this column. One area of the tech boom in Pittsburgh that I had not covered is the investor community. Pittsburgh-based Innovation Works is one of the country's top seed investors, and CB Insights ranks it as America's most active investor in robotics. The company's mission is "to introduce, connect, support and expand the startup & entrepreneurial ecosystem within Southwestern Pennsylvania, making our region a center for innovative startups and tech investors from around the country." Innovation Works' portfolio includes companies in the robotics, artificial intelligence, medical devices, retail technologies, and enterprise software fields, among others.
