Quicken is a client of Skidmores, so in my mind that qualifies as being under his sphere of influence.For the record, I don't think Skidmore is in Gilbert's sphere of influence. I think this may have been his first "outside" get.
And, yes, ePrize is very much linked in with Gilbert. Josh Linkner and Gilbert are business partners and both are involved in Detroit Venture Partners. ePrize is in Pleasant Ridge I believe and, frankly, I'm surprised we haven't even heard rumblings of them moving downtown yet.
Ahhh...didn't know that. Would qualify in my book as well.
Apparently another company is moving downtown as well...only 5-10 people, but good nonetheless...

I have a man crush on Dan Gilbert at this point.
