February 15, 2017 – Grand Junction-based tech startup SynaptixGames has partnered with DeepMarkit from Calgary in Alberta, Canada to develop a 3-D short-form, casual game for a new patent-pending gamification platform (scroll down for the press release). This marks a significant step toward Colorado’s Grand Valley becoming a bona fide tech hub.
GJEP met with DeepMarkit earlier this month, when the company came to Grand Junction to visit with SynaptixGames and ProStar Geocorp to talk about future partnerships and setting up U.S. headquarters in the Grand Valley. Another Canada-based tech corporation, Nexoptic, joined the meeting as well.
During the visit, DeepMarkit EVP, Ranjeet Sundher, told GJEP and local media that he was very impressed by the workforce in the Grand Valley. He saw synergies with his home market in Calgary, where DeepMarkit was able to take advantage of a declining energy market to secure tech-savvy talent for his growing business.
