Built in Pitt Pittsburgh's Startup Radio

Today I’m joined by Doug, founder of Decoder VR, a Pittsburgh based development studio and the creator of the VR game Forestry. Doug is also a Professor of Design at Chatham University and runs the local coworking space Stack.

I had the pleasure of talking with Yang Zhang, a second-year PhD. student from Carnegie Mellon's Human-Computer Interaction Institute. Yang is the creator of a project called Electrick, with a mission to turn everyday objects into touchscreens for computers.

Hi all!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Pittsburgh’s own Michael Clouser. Michael is the co-founder of The Startup Race, Ask a Techie, and Nautilus Beam. His blog is called The Academic Entrepreneur and he also runs a venture consultancy called NoseCone Ventures.

He’s a former Professor of Entrepreneurship and venture capitalist with a wealth of knowledge and background. Luckily for me, he took the time to sit down and answer some of my questions like: How the VC industry has changed over the years, tips for founders in Pittsburgh, how universities could better support startups and his advice to aspiring entrepreneurs.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
