DeepField is moving to a bigger office in downtown Ann Arbor, making room for more staff. The extra people are needed to keep up with the demand for the company's IT infrastructure platform. The Ann Arbor-based firm will be moving from its current office above the Michigan Theatre to the second floor of 111 N Ashley, taking over 5,200 square feet of office space.
"It's three times the size of where we are right now," says Lorne Groe, CFO & COO of
DeepField.
The 4-year-old startup makes software that helps big companies keep up with the constant changes that come with Internet's back-end IT infrastructure. The platform leverages big-data analytics that correlates telemetry from routers, switches, DNS, and more, decoding that morass of information. The user ends up with a better view of their IT network.
DeepField launched its platform a little more than a year ago with a handful of customers. It had grown that clientele list to nine firms by the end of last year and is now servicing 15 customers today. Groe aims to have 20 big corporations using DeepField's technology by the end of this year.
"We have a number of companies who are testing it right now," Groe says. "Our pipeline is really strong."
DeepField has been hiring quickly to keep up with that demand. It has added 12 people over the last year, including software developers, sales and marketing professionals, and executives. It is also looking to hire another five people right now to add to its staff of 29 employees and four interns.
"We are certainly looking to hire and grow," Groe says. "Our goal is to be at 45 people by the end of the year."
