For three years running we’ve featured the groundbreaking growth of local companies.
And for three years we’ve been swept off our feet.
The UV50 — which features the county’s 25 Fastest-Growing Companies (measured by percentage growth over a three-year period), 15 Top Revenue Companies and 10 Startups to Watch — has enjoyed another year of record-ranking success.
Meet all 50 winners, and go inside six companies that share how they did it — in their own words.

But we the people, in order to form a more perfect union, don’t have to [...]

Who needs Webster’s? BusinessQ has its own definition of cool — and it’s off the hizzie. (Yes, we just said “hizzie.” We never claimed to be cool ourselves.) But these 10 entrepreneurs? They’re more than cool. They’re the best and the brightest. The hip and the happenin’. The bold and the brave. And they’re 10 local “idea nerds” you need to add to your must-meet list. Oh, and we mean “nerd” in the coolest possible way.
