Opportunity Knocks is just that, an opportunity to bring an idea, a widget, a passion, a device or a dream that has been tucked away in that budding entrepreneur’s attic, garage, workshop or mind, to professionals that work every day to make those ingredients come together and then come to life.
On June 10th, 2025 the budding entrepreneur inside you will have the opportunity of a lifetime. You will have the undivided attention of business development professionals from Pittsburgh and the surrounding region for a fast and furious 20 minutes. During the first 15 minutes you will “sell, pitch or simply investigate” your business idea and during the next 5 minutes you will receive direction as to “next steps”. Those next steps will inevitably involve a great deal of work, time and dedication. Yet, conveys his or her idea successfully they will be guided to the economic development partners that can guide them forward.
Opportunity knocks does not guarantee or promise anything. There will be no grants, no big companies waiting in the other room to jump in and buy your product/service, and, sadly, no promises of becoming the next millionaire. However, Opportunity Knocks can set you off on the right foot, in the right direction, to possibly achieve all of the above.
“In life, as in business – do not fear failure but be terrified of regret” (Ms. Shauna Barber)
