Ascender

Ascender is my preferred 'Share Workspace' option in the Pittsburgh area. The community & culture that has been created here is one of the largest reasons I find myself returning to the space. Everyone is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable in their respective area or business. Plus, the vibes of the inside helps as well; The open space concept / exposed brick / natural light is really enticing. The kitchen as well acts as a great location to take a break, catch up with a colleague, or make a new connection all together. This is all in favor of Ascender, and it doesn't yet touch its main purpose -- being an oasis in the desert for Entrepreneurs in Pittsburgh. My understanding is there are several programs offered, and various bootcamps to aid in a founders journey. As well as an 'alu

Was there for several months and got an office. Things were great until I was falsely accused of offending someone or something. Which is kind of hard to do since I keep to myself. Very clickish and a bad spot. They overcharge and repeatedly have billing issues. Stay away and go with a more reputable organization.

Have been working out of Ascender's co-working space for 1.5 years and it's been a great time. The staff is super helpful and the co-working amenities are well thought-out and affordable. There are plenty of desks, meeting rooms, a nice kitchen and lounge area. But the community and kindredness is what makes Ascender stand out. The organization behind it has a noble mission of supporting entrepreneurship in the locality and it shows through their events, incubator companies and the experts who they bring into that space. If you're a budding entrepreneur loooing for a supportive process and environment to kickstart your business or someone simply looking for a place to work out of, Ascender is definitely worth considering.

Our founders at Asher Informatics PBC had an outstanding experience with Ascender Pgh. The facilities are excellent and in the heart of "AI Avenue" in Pittsburgh, PA, providing a conducive environment for innovation and collaboration. The staff is incredibly supportive and always ready to assist - both appropriate encouragements, redirecting, or tough love honestly. The community is vibrant, diverse and authentic and full of inspiring entrepreneurs and professionals. We highly recommend this their incubator program and co-working environment.

I've been an Ascender member for 4 or so years, and it has been a wonderful experience since the beginning! I had both a private office as well as a public desk. The space itself is really warm and welcoming. The parking is so easy (they have a huge lot). I've also never felt unsafe working late nights there. The other members are always willing to help and every month or so, there are member events as well as free food in the kitchen (which is always delicious). It was so nice having a place to go as my sacred "work" area. I was able to accomplish so much during my couple years there and meet new friends and colleagues. I'm exploring a new career path at the moment, but as soon as I need a personal office space, I will be back at Ascender!
