Real Talk. Real Experts. Real Growth.


Once a month, seven business owners sit down with a guest expert and PMAHCC's CEO at a local member restaurant for a private, two-hour conversation about one practical business topic. You bring your real question. You leave with next steps you can use the next morning.

Every session is confidential. Everyone signs a confidentiality agreement at the door, so people speak honestly and learn from one another.


How It Works

  • Apply once and select the topics that interest you
  • When your topic is coming up, we contact you with the date and location
  • Sessions are in person, about two hours, once a month
  • Seven owners per table, curated so no two participants compete in the same industry
  • No cost to participate. Snacks and a drink are on us




Topics

  • Marketing on a Budget 
  • Pricing for Profit
  • Social Media and Digital Presence
  • Cash Flow and Money Management
  • Access to Capital
  • Selling to Government and Certifications
  • Hiring and Building a Team
  • Licenses, Permits and Legal
  • Taxes and Bookkeeping
  • Customer Service and Retention
  • Growing Beyond One Location
  • Global Trade Preview and Goal Setting

Session dates and locations are announced as each topic approaches.

What You Get

  • A guest expert, 7 entrepreneurs and a PMAHCC's staff member at the table
  • A complimentary one-year PMAHCC Small Business Membership
  • Priority consideration for PMAHCC microgrants
  • Free one-on-one business consulting through the Duquesne University SBDC, on request

Who Should Apply

Business owners in the Pittsburgh region, or those actively preparing to launch, who want honest answers to real questions and can commit to the full session for each topic they select.

Owners with a registered business receive first priority. You do not need to be a PMAHCC member to apply.




Are You an Expert? Volunteer at a Roundtable.

Give two hours, change a business. We are looking for professionals in marketing, pricing, social media, finance, capital, government contracting, hiring, legal, taxes, customer service, growth, and global trade to join a single two-hour Roundtable in their area of expertise.



Privacy Notice: Roundtables are private. Everyone signs a confidentiality agreement at the door, and a single group photo is taken at the start before devices go away. Sessions are recorded for PMAHCC's internal research only, so we can better understand and serve our businesses, and recordings are never shared publicly. If we ever want to share a quote from you by name, we will ask you first.
