Josh Lucas - Work Hard Pittsburgh - Pitchwerks #30

There's a difference between renting space and joining a movement.

Want to know how hard it is to earn big grants?  Ever want to look under the hood of the Pittsburgh startup scene?  Are you able to detect a subtle South Park reference?  Then this week’s show is for you.  

Josh Lucas is the founder of Work Hard Pittsburgh, co-founder of Academy Pittsburgh, and as of this week he’s also received a Community Infrastructure and Tourism Fund (CITF) grant that will allow these organizations to expand into 9,000 square feet of new space as they continue their mission to build a sustainable co-op for startups and doers in Pittsburgh.  Josh is bullish on the idea of the co-op over the co-working space, and is eager to share why his model is probably better for you.
