...what caught my attention is that the three partners just moved their company here from Boulder, Colo. I spoke with Sara Czyzewicz, one of DandyID’s three partners, and she told me that Boulder is oversaturated with startups, which makes it hard to get actual employees, and it’s quite expensive to get space. They toured such places as Seattle and San Francisco last year, looking to move.

They added Providence to their list, and were quite surprised when they got here. (Sara is originally from Pawtucket though her partners are not from Rhode Island.) She said they were attracted by affordable office space, but also by events like the Geek Dinners (providencegeeks.org), and efforts like RI Nexus (rinexus.com), which show off the active community of technologists and inventors they found here. Since arriving in August, they’ve settled down to their new routine, and have found themselves a new programmer, too.
