Newest tech company emphasizes the human side

When you're a technology company, it takes guts to talk about things like art and the human spirit. But that's just what ATTEVO is doing. This company took up space downtown in the Baker Building--the founders plan to stay here because they love Cleveland--and is creating high-paying high-tech jobs--more than 50 in the last few months--as it opens branches in other cities like San Francisco in order to meet its optimistic revenue projections.

ATTEVO is the brainchild of several entrepreneurs, each of whom headed another successful company (Realogic, DigitalDay and Infinis). Tried emailing a screen shot from their website and so far it hasn't come through. But hey, you can check out their website yourself.

Having had the pleasure of working with Howard Cleveland, ATTEVO's Chief Creative Officer, when he was at Digital Day, I was delighted to be the first to introduce him and his fellow entrepreneurs to Michael DeAloia, Cleveland's technology officer. Last I heard they were meeting with Mayor Campbell.

Congratulations to ATTEVO and to Howard, Dave Snyder, Joe Burmester and Kelby Kostival.

Hope you got out and enjoyed the Independence Day holiday.
