GoPoint Technology's GL1 Apple accessory receives Popular Mechanics award

GoPoint Technology got its start three years ago when Brennan Hamilton, a former Ford engineer, spun off a project from another company he was involved with. Today, the Rochester Hills-based startup has tripled its staff and expects to triple its business within the next year.

"This has been an exciting ride lately with all of the pickup in our business," Hamilton says.

GoPoint Technology connects people to their vehicles with products like its GL1 Apple accessory and its proprietary applications. The accessory recently received the 2010 Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Product Award for its ability to interact with the iPhone. "We bill ourselves as a connected vehicle technology company," Hamilton says.

GoPoint Technology has really taken off in the last year, going from one to three employees plus a handful of independent contractors. The firm has also brokered a deal with Saline Lectronics to manufacture its product in Michigan and expects to expand its manufacturing capability as the business grows. Hamilton also plans to hire 1-2 more people this year.
