I see my hometown of Harrisburg isn't getting startup love. Kind of surprising; I've heard from friends and family still there that their economy is prettty strong. The cost of doing business there is probably a lot cheaper than the Philly area too.

This just went live less than 24 hours ago. Feel free to reach out to them and see if they would like to add a pin!

There are numerous startups that have been spun off from PSU in the State College area.

I hope to capture every single one of them, eventually, on this map!

I am debating seeding it with startups without their knowledge. Fortunately, of the 19 who are signed up, every single one has done it themselves (with exception of Gabe from DuckDuckGo, he tweeted me "permission"!)

There were lot of startups who attended the latest phg tech meetup. I added mine(from pittsburgh) to the map but if you want a full picture I would recommend adding them yourself or let others add them. What harm does it do to the startup by listing here. I guess you can have a disclaimer at the bottom saying if you want to remove your startup from the list..do it here.. or email ..

Innoblue, a student-run entrepreneurial group at Penn State has a list of startups founded by PSU students and alumni. It's not restricted to those still in the area though.

Can we add other people's companies/accelerators etc...? I could probably populate a lot of the Pittsburgh area quickly, but it looks like you have an approval process.

I don't feel comfortable personally adding other peoples companies without their permission, so I don't advocate it; but the "approval process" is just me clicking "Approve".

So, that being said, if you'd like to add companies of friends/contacts, and feel ok signing up "for" them, feel free!

Awesome thanks, also you might want to start not zoomed in on the Philly area so you don't offend us westerners ;) Just noticed there actually are some other locations outside of Philly on the map already. Cool idea!

Looks like Philly is missing a lot still, DreamIt Ventures and Independents Hall come to mind

If you have any interest in populating this with data from the http://weworkinphilly.com API, drop me a line. Email in profile.

Your "Add Something" form does not allow apostrophes in the Company Name.
