AI Company Aaru to Add Over 650 Jobs in New York City, Growing Workforce Past 700 in Five Years
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Nov. 13 that Aaru, a super intelligence (SI) company, will expand its operations in New York City, creating over 650 new jobs over the next five years and making New York the home of its research and development operations.
Aaru is headquartered in Manhattan and was founded about two years ago. The company helps businesses test new products and ideas before bringing them to market. Under the announced plan, Aaru will lease and build out more than 27,000 square feet of office space near Union Square, growing its workforce from about 60 employees today to more than 700, roughly a tenfold increase.
Governor Hochul said the most promising SI companies are choosing New York when they decide where to grow, and that Aaru is the latest proof. She said the state has made big investments in computing power, research and talent, and companies are bringing jobs and investment to New York as a result.
Aaru co-founder and CEO Cameron Fink said the company made a deliberate decision to build in New York City, citing the depth and diversity of talent, proximity to the world's largest enterprises, and the city's history of innovation.
Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said Aaru, founded in New York City just two years ago, has rapidly emerged as a major player in super intelligence, and that the expansion represents an important investment in its future. The state says that under Governor Hochul's leadership, New York has passed the San Francisco Bay Area as the nation's largest tech talent market.
