Our First Tech Happy Hour in Pittsburgh!
August 12, 2025
Last Wednesday, Sngular hosted our first happy hour event for the Pittsburgh tech community. Of course you expect us to say we had a good time–but truly, we had a blast!
About 40 local techies gathered at Novo Asian Food Hall in the Strip District to connect over a few drinks. We shared laughter and ideas with a group of yinzers so diverse that even Buffalo Bills and New York Yankees fans were included.**
**But not Cleveland. We have to draw a line somewhere.
🖥️ “Would you like to play a game?”♟️
Not content with milling around, we got everyone together to play a game we call Tech Solutions Showdown. Attendees were sorted into teams and given 15 minutes to create a pitch for a new tech product, with one twist: each team received a unique scenario telling them who their product was for and what technology it had to incorporate.
For example, your humble hosts were asked to create a tech solution for vampires using solar panels, so we pitched a solar-powered, self-driving coffin:
Obviously, this wasn't too serious–but people really dove in to create what we can assure you are never-before-seen products.
When time was up, each team shared their pitch with the room. Every single team came out strong with an inventive name and a colorful illustration, and we really kinda wanted to try some of these products, not gonna lie.
10/10, would play again.
🤝 Community Vibes 💓
After the game, we chatted up the room and totally lost track of time. We met folks from software, electronics, and even a data center facilities company operating in the Pittsburgh area; local startup founders with real product ideas (read: not for vampires); plus, tech recruiters and job seekers who impressed us with their courage and their chops.
We came away so happy to be part of this community, and excited about all the (real-life) projects being cooked up right here in the 'Burgh.
Big thanks to our hosts at Novo for helping us organize a fun and successful event!
