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.
