Gumshoe is the result of a friendship and collaboration between Liz Dimmitt and Tracy Nolder. Liz and Tracy met while participating in an international seminar exploring arts issues and practices in Europe. While on this adventure, they brainstormed ways to maximize the quality of cultural experiences. Upon their return to New York, Tracy and Liz combined forces to establish Gumshoe, a company that caters to cultural explorers.
