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.
