Blogger/Tech Happy Hour - Free Beer!

Software Advice, a free online resource for software buyers, has moved its headquarters from San Francisco, CA, to Austin, TX, and is having a party to celebrate!

Founded in 2005, Software Advice matches technology buyers with the right software for their organization. The company serves a range of vertical markets, including the construction, medical, property management and retail industries. In turn, Software Advice also provides a powerful marketing channel for software vendors that are looking to reach buyers in these industries.

When deciding where to move the company, founder & President Don Fornes said that Austin’s favorable business climate and high quality of life made the central-Texas town stand out.

“We wanted to move to a city where we could grow our business cost-effectively and have a great quality of life. I also wanted our employees to love where they lived. Austin gave us the best combination of a friendly business environment, outstanding professional talent and a quality of life that that is unmatched.”

Austin’s reputation as a technology hub played a large role in the move, Fornes said.

“We knew that as the company grew, we would need to find talented employees with a background in technology and Internet marketing. Moving to Austin means that we can find that talent right here while helping to strengthen local business.”

The company is connecting with that talent by hosting a meet-and-greet happy hour for Austin’s blogger and tech community. The event begins at 6 P.M. on August 13th at the company’s downtown office.

What: Free hors d'oerves and beer from Independence Brewing Co.
When: 6:00 P.M. on Thursday, August 13th
Where: 714 Congress Avenue, Suite 200 (upstairs)
