AlphaLab is a startup accelerator created by Innovation Works (see profile) to help capital-efficient startup companies launch quickly and successfully. Twice a year, up to six companies in the software, web services, mobile, gaming or agile hardware space are selected to participate in an intensive 20-week program. During these weeks companies will rapidly iterate on their products and work with mentors, advisors, and the AlphaLab team to hone their business models. The program culminates in the AlphaLab Demo Day: a chance for companies to pitch what they've been working on to angel investors, VCs, and press outlets from around the nation. Companies receive $25,000 from Innovation Works in exchange for 5% common stock in their company. Innovation Works (IW) is AlphaLab's parent organization and the Pittsburgh region's largest and most active seed-stage investor. Since 1999, IW has invested over $50 million in 120 companies.
