InQuest Technologies, founded in 1997 by Michael Colapietro and Jeremy Carr, is a successful 35 person IT company located in Providence. Originally based in Massachusetts, the partners chose to move to Providence to take advantage of the city’s high caliber information technology and digital media community as well as its centralized location between Boston and New York.    

InQuest Technologies worked with the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (RIEDC) and secured a $750,000 loan from the RIEDC’s Small Business Loan Fund that allowed them to support their relocation and expansion costs as well as create additional high wage jobs.
