Strava Inc., a popular athlete social network, is joining the pack of California tech companies expanding to Denver.
The San Francisco-based company has begun hiring for a half-dozen positions in Denver at a Galvanize campus downtown and plans grow to eventually have its own office with as many as 90 local employees.
The company was announcing the expansion today at an event featuring CEO James Quarles and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.
