From Mlive:

DETROIT, MI - The founders of Stik.com, a website that aggregates top-rated professionals on Facebook, announced today that they are moving from San Francisco into the M@dison Building in downtown Detroit.

Company co-founders Jay Gierak and Nathan Labenz are originally from the Detroit area. They were classmates of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard University, and moved to Silicon Valley, where they created Stik.com, after graduating in 2010.


"Downtown Detroit is developing something special around its burgeoning tech community, and we want to be part of it," Labenz said in a release. "We are excited to collaborate with other Detroit-based companies that are making a positive impact, and we are eager to grow our business with some of the best tech talent in the country."


The M@dison Building, at 1555 Broadway St., has been redeveloped over the past year as an entrepreneurial tech hub. It was purchased in January 2011 by Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert's Rock Ventures investment company.


"The fact that Stik.com is moving to the M@dison Building from Silicon Valley is more proof that downtown Detroit's energetic tech core has something to offer up-and-coming technology companies," Gilbert said in the release. "It's promising companies like Stik.com that will continue to strengthen the city's tech environment -- and downtown Detroit as a whole -- as more people relocate and bring bright ideas with them."

More good news!!!
