Stealth Software Company chooses Vancouver over Silicon Valley
Vancouver, British Columbia (MMD Newswire) February 13, 2012 -- Digital Alchemy, a secretive new software company that is developing sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) based risk management solutions for asset managers, has decided to launch in Vancouver after an exhaustive review of potential home bases that included; Geneva, Hong Kong, Singapore and of course Northern California.The management team has deep global experience and is led by CEO and part time Whistler resident J. Bradley Hall who commented, "On the revenue side we certainly have to align ourselves with our customers who are in key financial centers like Boston, New York, London, Geneva and Hong Kong and establishing a sales presence is non negotiable. On the development side, what we are seeing in the Bay area is reminiscent of my time running a fund there in the 90's where easy money is starting to decouple valuations from reality or put another way, people are starting to party like it's 1999. The trickle down effect manifests in inflated costs and technical talent that wants to be compensated like first round draft picks. In BC, we have access to highly trained technical talent, a competitive cost base and can offer employees who share our work to live approach a lifestyle that is second to none."
