I am employed at a Pittsburgh tech startup (www.pittpatt.com). There seems to be alot of benefits from our perspective to Pittsburgh. The primary difficulty is the prebuilt assumption in the CS/EE programs that you need to leave Pittsburgh to get a good job.

Take a lesson from Spolsky and market directly to the CS/EE school - either on your own or as part of a startup group. Don't wait for students and grads to figure out you're there.
