Qstride is growing across the eastern half of the U.S. The Troy-based tech firm is opening new offices in downtown Ann Arbor and Virginia. It is also expanding its office in downtown Detroit.
Qstride provides analytics and business intelligence services for a broad range of clients. It now has clients across the country, from New York to California and several states in between. That has allowed the 20-month-old firm to grow its revenue by 135 percent. It now employs 20 people, including eight in Detroit.
"It will probably grow to 15 people," says Shane Gianino, CEO of
Qstride. "We don't want to grow too fast."
The Ann Arbor and Virginia offices are still small. Gianino expects them to grow significantly over the next year as they draw from their respective local tech talent pools.
Qstride does a lot of work in data warehousing and business intelligence, such as providing big data services and predictive analytics. It has landed 10 new clients over the last year, including three last week. The clientele includes healthcare, retail, education and financial services businesses.
