I did not even think of that, thanks mate. I know he is from there as it is on his Linkedin. I just thought maybe they were looking for people for the role specifically from Denver or who are willing to live there, and he turned out to be the best candidate.

He must have a lot of influence if he is the reason they are setting up shop there.

But this quote from the announcement "Thank you to our partners in the city for welcoming us.” makes me curious as to who they mean by partners.
