About Coal Hill Ventures
The Coal Hill name comes from the original name for Mount Washington, an iconic Pittsburgh landmark that helped power both the city and the birth of the international steel industry. Another globally-reaching opportunity is taking root in the city right now, where its density of talent in Advanced Robotics can catalyze an even greater transformation of the global economy than steel. Our organization spun out of Carnegie Mellon's world- renowned robotics lab for the purpose of accelerating this robotics revolution with the needed mix of advising and investing. This starts with our Robotics Hub Venture Funds, launched in late 2015, and includes all of the intellectual and infrastructure support needed to overcome the challenges of the forming Advanced Robotics industry.
