Many of these young firms founded with VC move around- it's nothing new.

Agreed. They are also only moving some of the higher-ups and marketing/sales people. Most of the company (at least 60%) is staying in Conshohocken. I don't think this is as bad as it seems at all. Even if the entire company was moving, it's only 200 employees.
