St. Petersburg, Fla. — June 30, 2015 — sensorFact Services, Inc., a cloud-based data acquisition and storage company for the Internet of Things (IoT), announced that it has relocated its headquarters from Davie, Fla., to the anchor of Florida’s High Tech Corridor, St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg, categorized as “one of the top four high-tech employment centers in the nation," has, with sensorFact Services, all the makings of a great fit with the city’s existing resources and the company’s current projected growth rate.
“Although we took serious note of St Petersburg’s new residing talent, with their 6 percent millennial population increase in the past five years, there are many factors about St. Petersburg and Florida’s high-tech corridor that attracted us to make this move,” said Matt Horton, president of sensorFact. “It is true, that after our recent spin-off, we set out to find a home where we could take advantage of a talented base that is increasingly technology oriented, but we also wanted to find a diverse and flourishing economic environment that would be welcoming to a startup company like ours.
"St. Petersburg offers big-city benefits with a small-town feeling, and that means a lot to our team and their families who have all relocated here and are enjoying it.”
sensorFact Services will be joining the ranks of close to 20,000 companies encompassed by the High Tech Corridor. Some 180 high-tech businesses already employ 9,970 members in St. Petersburg alone, allowing
sensorFact the ability to tap into the local talent, technical resources, and already-established friendly business climate found there.
“Other companies are proving this area as a key factor to a successful business formula. As reported in the Florida Trend, other companies have successfully grown from less than 30 employees to a staff more than 200 people in three years' time. With sensorFact already positioned for similar growth, we are excited to be in a place where our company can really take root and have the local support we need to expand our business,” said Rena Hafer, vice president of sensorFact Services.
sensorFact has executed a five-year lease for its new principal place of business within the Morgan Stanley Tower at this address: 150 2nd Ave. North, Suite 770, St. Petersburg, FL 33701.
The move was completed June 10. To learn more about sensorFact Services, Inc., visit www.sensorFact.com.
