Scate Technologies headed for mind-blowing growth, plans to double staff

Scate Technologies, a software development firm in Orion Township, is gearing up for, well, a heckuva lot of growth within the next year or so.

The company is behind the Ignite 4 program, software that allows users to mash up different computer media, such as images, text and audio files. It is planning to release new versions of the software that will make it compatible with popular products, such as YouTube, iPods and Facebook.

That should mean big growth for the firm.

"Next year should be relatively mind blowing," Jeff Holth, chief technology officer for Scate Technologies.

Right now the 7-year-old firm has grown to 11 employees and another 10-15 contractors and partners. It expects its revenue to grow 175-200 percent this year and another 300-400 percent next year. That will mean at least a doubling of the current staff.

And all of those people will be at its home base just north of Pontiac.

"We don't do any development outside of Orion Township," Holth says. "We don't outsource anything. Anything you see was made in north Oakland County. Period. We are very proud of that."
