Technology

As entrepreneurial and start-up activity has grown in our region, so has Sisterson's technology practice.

Technology

The professionals on our technology team focus on this practice area and provide sound and timely advice. Contact us for information on R&D credits, the Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ) Tax Credit Program, or other matters. 

These companies get the best of both worlds by hiring Sisterson - a firm large enough to handle complex issues and small enough to give personal attention.

We are committed to supporting the development of regional entrepreneurs and are proud to support such organizations as Innovations Works, AlphaLab, AlphaLab Gear and Robotics Factory, Pittsburgh Venture Capital Association, Project Olympus at Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pittsburgh.
