DeepField is planting its flag on West Liberty in downtown Ann Arbor, claiming new office space where it can call the likes of
Menlo Innovations,
Barracuda Networks, and Google as neighbors.
"It's an incredible pool of talent and energy," says Craig Labovitz, CEO & co-founder of
DeepField. "It's incredibly close to the university and the growing pool of tech talent."
The 1-year-old start-up got its start in the Tech Brewery on Ann Arbor's north side. That is where the company has done much of the work to develop software that enables large corporations to adapt to the ever changing world of the Internet's back-end IT infrastructure. It raised $1.6 million in venture capital last year to develop its technology.
DeepField's technology is now deployed in some large companies (Labovitz declined to name which ones) in North America, Europe and South America. "We're seeing a large part of the consumer Internet traffic in the United States," Labovitz says. Naim Falandino, chief data scientist for DeepField, adds, "We are in all segments of the market now."
DeepField recently hired two people, bringing its staff to nearly 15. The growing staff meant it had to sign a two-year lease for a new office space downtown to make room for the new hires. DeepField currently has five job openings and expects to make another 10 hires later this year.
