We Build Databases has become a mobile app company but not necessarily the stereotypical start-up kind that hawks its software in the Apple store.
The Washington Township-based company has traditionally specialized in database software. It now creates custom mobile apps that helps improve a business' operations, finances and workflow. That sort of work has allowed We Build Databases to grow its revenue by 15 percent over the last year as it focuses on doing work for small- and medium-size businesses.
"We have been able to grow in a pretty organic fashion," says Dan Reynolds, CEO of
We Build Databases. "Things are looking pretty good for us."
The 6-year-old company has hired five employees over the last year, expanding the firm's staff to 18 employees. Its newest hires have included database developers, software architects and mobile app developers.
"There is a ton of talent in Michigan," Reynolds says. "The work ethic here is second to none."
