Assessment

As of October 2016, both aspects of the claim are supported by independent records. In July 2016, a profile published by Bowdoin College confirmed Raizlabs had grown to 80 employees, consistent with company retrospectives citing an 80-person headcount prior to acquisition. Contemporaneous job listings from March and May 2016, as well as subsequent 2017 acquisition records by Rightpoint, confirm active company offices in Boston, Massachusetts, and Oakland, California.

A July 26, 2016 profile published by Bowdoin College documented that Raizlabs had reached 80 employees as of July 2016.
Raizlabs job postings from March 1, 2016, and May 8, 2016, specifically listed open positions across offices in Boston, MA, and Oakland, CA.
Rightpoint's November 7, 2017 acquisition announcement verified Raizlabs' operational footprint in Boston, MA, and Oakland, CA.
