Skuid relocates to Liberty Tower
Skuid Inc., creators of the leading cloud user experience (UX) design platform, relocated Tuesday to Liberty Tower on Chestnut Street in downtown Chattanooga. The company will initially occupy the sixth, seventh and eighth floors of the LEED Gold Certified building.
Since founding the company in 2013, Skuid has lived in four different locations: the Plow Building, the Southern Saddlery Building, the Republic Plaza, and now the Liberty Tower. The moves give testament to Skuid’s rapid growth since it launched with five people. When the company moved into its current space in the Republic Plaza in April of 2016, its team had grown to 55 members. Today, the Skuid “skuad” has mushroomed to more than 160 employees at its headquarters in Chattanooga and offices in the Bay Area, London, and Zurich.
“We’re staying in Chattanooga for a combination of compelling reasons. Chattanooga has the Gig, a reasonable cost of living and a much better qualify of life for our people,” says Ken McElrath, Skuid founder and CEO.
At 36,921 square feet, the new Skuid offices will provide enough room for the company’s near-term growth, McElrath said.
