The PennZone

PITTSBURGH - PennZone -- The Happreneurs™ Business Community, a fast-growing national networking movement built on the principle that happiness fuels success, proudly announces the official launch of its Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania chapter.

The chapter launches with six accomplished founding members, led by Main Chapter Launcher Sal Acosta, and is focused on building a high-impact, relationship-driven business community rooted in collaboration and referrals.

The first in-person meeting will take place on April 2nd from 12:00 PM to 12:55 PM at Nate's Chop House, Southpointe Town Center, 1900 Main St, Canonsburg, PA 15317.

"Happiness is not just a consequence of success; it is the precursor to it," says Edwin Edebiri, Founder and Chief Happiness Officer of Happreneurs™. "We are excited to bring this model to Pittsburgh and partner with leaders who are committed to growing together through meaningful relationships."

A Modern Approach to Networking

After facilitating more than 10,000 online meetings, Edebiri identified three key insights that led to the founding of Happreneurs™ on March 20, 2025:

• Online networking is efficient
• In-person networking is effective
• Hybrid networking is unstoppable

Happreneurs™ combines these strengths through a structured hybrid model, with in-person and virtual meetings designed to maximize connection, engagement, and results in just 55 minutes.
