CloudInsyte

As CloudInsyte began to expand, Josh and his co-founder, COO Kate Huber, initiated a search to find a location for its growing team – seeking a region with lower costs than New York City without sacrificing top-tier talent and a vibrant lifestyle. Invest Buffalo Niagara (InBN) leveraged the company’s emotional connection to the region and began building the business case to make financial sense. CloudInsyte needed affordable office space, access to talent and a dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem. InBN researched data to show Buffalo’s strengths in all those areas. InBN also facilitated meetings with local accounting firms, universities, and incentive providers. Ultimately, CloudInsyte decided Buffalo was the perfect location to lengthen its runway and relocate its headquarters. Its partnership with the University at Buffalo, Launch NY, Z80 Labs and the START-UP NY program were critical to this decision.

“We already knew Buffalo was a special place. Going through this process just validated that even more. The affordable business climate and, most importantly, the talented people made this an easy decision. Oh and by the way…Go Bills!”
