In 2014, under Governor Cuomo, the State of New York commissioned 43North to bring innovation and new jobs to the Buffalo Niagara region. Since then, 43North has been a key driver in the renaissance of a thriving Western NY business community, spurring growth for companies such as ACV Auctions, which was recently valued north of $1.5B and now employs over 1,000 workers.
In 2019, more than 500 companies applied to 43North, and through a competitive process, Peanut Butter was selected as one of just eight companies that will each receive a cash award, complimentary Class A office space, hands-on assistance in recruiting, and support in qualifying for tax incentives including a state income tax exemption for local employees.
Peanut Butter has been located in Chicago since its inception in 2015 and will maintain a Chicago office. Current clients will continue to receive the:
- Same support teams,
- Same support hours, and
- Same invoicing and payment management process.
