Rising Tides Solutions, LLC, a custom software development company, formally announced its relocation and expansion in Henrico County this morning – a move that is expected to create 90 new jobs in the next several years.
The company moved into its new 11,000-square-foot office in Innsbrook in September.
“RTS Labs’ decision to expand its headquarters in Henrico County will further advance the region’s position as a leader in information technology, a sector with significant anticipated growth and upward mobility,” said Virginia Governor Ralph Northam. “Supporting successful companies like RTS Labs that create high-quality, 21st-century jobs for Virginians is one of my top priorities as governor, and the Commonwealth is proud to partner with this innovative business as it more than doubles its workforce.”
Founded in 2010, RTS Labs specializes in custom software application development, salesforce platform implementation, business intelligence, and data analytics. RTS Labs’ clients range from fast-growing startups to enterprise-level companies and include Dominion Energy, Goodwill Industries, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Advance Auto Parts, Blue Ocean Brain, Envera Health and Venebio Group. The company’s revenue growth is a result of its evolving technological capabilities coupled with successful implementations for clients in a variety of industry sectors, according to company officials.
“Since its founding as a small startup, RTS Labs has benefited from access to the Greater Richmond region’s robust pool of technology talent,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Brian Ball. “The company now designs innovative software solutions for a variety of businesses that fuel the region’s vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem. RTS Labs’ rapid growth is a strong testimony to what a homegrown Virginia technology company can achieve in the Commonwealth, and we look forward to its next chapter in Henrico County.”
Henrico has been a good fit RTS, company founder and CEO Jyot Singh said.
“RTS Labs is an employee-centric company, and Henrico County has been the perfect location for our employees, with quick access to our clients, restaurants, shopping, and other business services,” Singh said. “Henrico’s convenient location helps facilitate frequent face-to-face collaboration between our employees and our clients, and Virginia has been a great partner, offering a very business-friendly environment.”
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Henrico County to secure the project for Virginia and will support the company’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program. VJIP provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs or experiencing technological change in order to support employee training activities. As a business incentive supporting economic development, VJIP reduces the human resource costs of new and expanding companies. VJIP is state-funded.
“Innsbrook’s class A office space and our high-quality tech talent make Henrico County the ideal location for high-growth tech companies like RTS Labs to thrive,” said Three Chopt District Supervisor Tommy Branin. “We are grateful to have RTS Labs as part of our business community, and we look forward to the IT headquarters having a bright and prosperous future in Henrico.”
