Congratulations to my neighbors at Duo! That's a crazy amount of money and I hope that many Ann Arborites pay it forward in the tech scene from which Duo came.

Congratulations to my neighbors at Duo! That's a crazy amount of money and I hope that many Ann Arborites pay it forward in the tech scene from which Duo came.
Lots of good tech in A2 in general - Deepfield acquired by Nokia, SkySpecs, Trove, FarmLogs (a YC startup), LLamasoft (my employer!), IBM is here, Toyota, Hyundai, a rapidly increasing number of medtech companies, and plenty of boutique consulting. It makes for a healthy life - a strong tech scene drives wages up, yet the cost of living is still fairly low (downtown A2 is very expensive already, but you can live in the nearby areas for considerably less). There were four companies from A2 in the who's hiring page the other day. Take a look! :)

- georgehotelling 8y ago> downtown A2 is very expensive already, but you can live in the nearby areas for considerably less A big part of the August 7th primary will be about building more housing. Taylor wants more, Eaton wants to freeze Ann Arbor in amber so that no one else can move in and change the town.
- mgoblu3 8y agoWork a bit next door to the Llamasoft office, it's a good spot. Really love A2 and glad to see the budding tech scene here really making it.
