Steel Point Opportunities was born out of the culmination and success of starting my own company JMR which worked with brand new start-ups in various states giving them the starting employee bases needed to succeed in their respective areas/industries. Since then l been approached by many local companies here in the Pittsburgh region upon moving here I have decided to start focusing more on the local market to meet the needs of companies right here in my own backyard.
