Boulder-based Quick Left closes Portland office

BOULDER — Local software consulting firm Quick Left Inc., on Monday closed its Portland, Ore., office as it brings its full development team back to Colorado and looks to grow its employee count within the state.

Matt Work, CEO of the Boulder-based company, said in an email that Quick Left has offered relocation packages to all six of its Portland-based employees.

The office closure comes two months after Quick Left announced that it had divested Sprint.ly. Quick Left and Portland-based Sprint.ly, a maker of project-management software, had merged in 2014. But Sprint.ly founder Joe Stump bought the assets of Sprint.ly in November to once again make it its own company.

“Without critical mass of employees, local leadership, and without the local sales success (like we have in Colorado), we couldn’t justify our presence in the Portland market,” Work wrote. “We are eager to bring the development team (to Colorado) under the supervision and mentoring of our Colorado management team.”

Quick Left employs 35 people, with its headquarters in Boulder and an office at Galvanize in Denver.

Founded in 2010 by Ingrid Alongi, Quick Left has grown quickly. The company finished second on BizWest’s 2015 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the Boulder Valley, with revenue between $2.6 million and $6 million. The company had 2014 sales of $5.2 million, up from $2.8 million just two years earlier.

“We are continuing to eagerly hire software developers in the Boulder/Denver area,” Work said. “We also have been expanding our design team to meet market demand.”
