Resources for Small Businesses
It Isn’t Just about Us
It’s about helping you and your business grow and thrive in Pittsburgh.
At Invest PGH, our mission is simple yet profound: fostering the growth and prosperity of Pittsburgh's small businesses. We understand that while we strive to provide tailored solutions, we may not perfectly fit the unique needs of every enterprise. That's why we proudly offer links to external organizations providing lending and technical assistance. We believe that by connecting businesses with a diverse range of resources, we empower them to thrive and flourish in our vibrant community. At Invest PGH, it's not just about finding the right fit—it's about ensuring every small Pittsburgh business has the support it needs to succeed.
