We considered several factors...

We considered several factors in relocating to Clark County - including the number of restaurants within walking distance, the safety of the area, and whether there was strong support from local and state government. We have been quite happy with where we landed and are proud to call Vancouver home.

GTMA's move to Vancouver was a huge success...

GTMA's move to Vancouver was a huge success. Within the first year of our move we've brought on 23 local hires. We found the Vancouver community to be kind, generous, and hospitable - we made the right choice.

Relocating our headquarters to Clark County...

Relocating our headquarters to Clark County from the Silicon Valley was one of the best decisions we have made at RealWear. As a startup, we are focused on keeping costs down and we have seen nearly a 2-to-1 increase in our spending power per dollar across the board. The local talent has been abundant and highly impressive. Finally, the beauty, culture and hospitality of the region is second to none across the U.S.
