Cataphora has tripled the size of its downtown Ann Arbor office thanks to its internship program that is serving as a feeder system for new employees.
The Silicon Valley-based software firm's executive team has strong ties to the University of Michigan, prompting it to open a software engineering center in Ann Arbor's vibrant downtown last fall. It has since grown to three employees and a handful of interns and is looking to hire three more now. It's two last hires have been interns in the Ann Arbor office.
"We're going to keep growing organically," says Chris Kurecka, the Michigan Engineering Manager for
Cataphora.
Cataphora has watched its overall business grow in recent months thanks to new clients based in the Midwest and East Coast. The Ann Arbor office is serving a critical role in maintaining and building that client base.
"Being in the same time zone or an hour plane rise away is reassuring to them," Kurecka says. "
