REthink, a real-estate software firm has opened a satellite office in downtown Ann Arbor and grown significantly in its first few months.
The Dallas-based company opened the office in October and now has a staff of 10 employees and one intern. The firm was attracted to Ann Arbor because of the presence of tech companies like Google and the ability of the University of Michigan to serve as a talent pipeline for future hires.
"From a start-up perspective, it was a great place to bring on talent," says Vijay Mehra, CEO of
REthink. "Plus, the cost of acquiring taken here is less than in San Francisco."
REthink creates an on-demand real estate customer relationship management application for mobile devices. It partners with SaaS CRM platform
Salesforce.com to create a customizable mobile software for real estate companies.
