The dedication line in Greg Coticchia’s first book reads like a final testament or a last goodbye: “To real entrepreneurs and product managers: Long may you fight the good fight.”

Though he had been writing the book in piece-meal LinkedIn posts over the last two years before finally polishing it for a self-published paperback, the candid advice manual may have been an early sign that he would move on.

On Nov. 30, Mr. Coticchia, the director of the University of Pittsburgh’s first and only accelerator, the Blast Furnace, will leave his post and the university’s Innovation Institute.
