Ntersol, an Irvine-based consulting and software development firm, moved to new headquarters a month ago after it outgrew its cramped office space.
“There literally was no place to sit” in the old offices, President Tony Jenkins told the Business Journal.
Chief Executive Gordon Adams added, “We ran out of space in less than a year.”
Ntersol currently has 17 employees, as well as six contract workers for specialized jobs, and is on track to more than triple this year’s revenue from the $2 million in 2018.
The company specializes in fintech, real estate, Internet of Things, and blockchain development applications from its new Spectrum-area offices at 100 Pacifica, while also providing talent acquisition and related staffing services.
“We feel there is enough work for us,” according to Adams. “People know who we are.”
Adams says the startup decided to do without outside investors when it went into business with five people 15 months ago. The core team has worked together over the past 13 years at a number of high-profile companies.
“We got the company profitable within four months of operations,” Adams said. “We’re going to do it the way we want to do it.”
One way they want to do things: controlled growth.
Jenkins said, “Before we hire someone we want to be sure we’re not going to have to lay them off in a few months.’’
He noted that the company’s still looking to hire, and that they pay “extremely well.”
