NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader for social
discovery, today announced that it has opened a new office in the
Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia, PA.
“We believe a presence in Philadelphia is a natural move for MeetMe that
will better position us to tap into a wealth of creative and innovative
technologists in the city and attract an even larger number of talented
individuals to our team,” said Jonah Harris, MeetMe’s Chief Technology
Officer.
MeetMe intends to staff its new office initially with engineers from its
New Hope, Pennsylvania headquarters, followed by new hires planned for
the coming months. The company is leasing the new office through shared
workspace provider WeWork.
“Over the years, we’ve spoken with a large number of qualified
candidates living in Philly, but many of them didn’t want to commute to
New Hope,” said MeetMe recruiter Tom Zabielski. “We believe this new
office can serve as an effective extension of our current team—sharing
projects across offices—to remain as collaborative and cohesive as at
our headquarters.”
MeetMe currently organizes the Bucks County Tech Meetup in New Hope and
plans to collaborate with WeWork to host additional talks at its new
location beginning with the Future of Data: Philadelphia Meetup, on June
7.
