It's no mystery why Silicon Valley-based MyBuys opened up an office in downtown Ann Arbor.

The start-ups founder, Robert Cell, is an Ann Arbor native, graduating from Gabriel Richard High School and the University of Michigan. It's no wonder why he envisioned bringing a key office in Ann Arbor. So far the office, which opened last year, houses nine people five interns. It recently hired two interns as full-time employees.

"There are some very bright, talented young people at the University of Michigan," says Drew Stirton, general manager of MyBuys. "We want to attract some of them to MyBuys."

The 60-person company hopes to expand the Ann Arbor office to 25-30 people within the next year. MyBuys hopes to grow to 250 people within the next five years. Downtown Ann Arbor looks to stay a main place for that expansion.

"We're enjoying this location," Stirton says. "It's a string draw for employees."

MyBuys makes personalized product recommendations for online-retailers. It is investing $5.4 million to establish its Ann Arbor office.
