Why was NH chosen as the home of your organization? What do you love about New Hampshire?
I am a Granite State native who recognizes that the New Hampshire advantage is still alive and well. Manchester has resurrected its massive riverside mill district, transforming it into an innovative tech hub. NH has always considered itself a leader in tech, but we’ve seen in recent years that there has been a discovery of the state’s tech ecosystem.
At York IE, we want to build something special, and we want to do it in New Hampshire because we think it’s a special place. When I worked at Dyn, a Manchester-based DNS and email delivery services provider, I was tired of hearing how we should be located in New York City or San Francisco. We were working out of New Hampshire and still landed contracts with Amazon, Twitter and Microsoft.
The NH tech industry has a diverse sector of companies, and we’ve seen the effect it has on the state as a whole. The tech industry is a leading driver of New Hampshire’s economy through the creation of thousands of jobs and contributions to the state’s GDP. NH provides a unique opportunity for tech startups to prosper and grow in an area that isn’t highly saturated.
