"Today I'm here to announce that we've crossed over the 500 threshold," he said. "We've achieved 525 jobs, I think that's a great accomplishment and I'd love to hear a round of applause for that."

The company's start-ups have raised over $250 million in venture capital in the past five years. Their presence in the Western New York region has attracted people like Kat Carter.

"There wasn't a huge tech community five, six years ago in Buffalo, but with 43North coming on and the opportunities that were opening up there, I decided it was time to come all the way back to Buffalo," Carter said.
