CHARLOTTE, N.C. — High-tech company Stratifyd announced plans Thursday to open up a new 30,000-square-foot office in the FreeMoreWest neighborhood.

The expansion would mean at least 200 new jobs in the Queen City over the next three to four years.

Stratifyd told Channel 9 it is the fastest growing tech company in Charlotte and focuses on collecting data to help companies improve services.

Over the past year, the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County have partnered to bring over 7,900 news jobs to Charlotte. Stratifyd is the latest company to announce a significant expansion in Charlotte.
