Keystone Merge
Keystone Merge is an entrepreneur event series that meets monthly throughout the Harrisburg, York, and Lancaster region. Every month, we gather to support entrepreneurs through meaningful conversations over drinks and hors d’oeuvres.
Here’s a quick update on what’s new for this year… We’ll be cycling through 3 coworking spaces. You can catch us at The Candy Factory in Lancaster, The Grotto in York, and Pursuit Coworking in Harrisburg.
We’re recruiting entrepreneurs to present for the upcoming year, and we’d love to chat with you. If you are actively working on a venture in any stage and industry, want advice on a business need, idea, opportunity, or challenge, please apply to present!
