Recognized emerging startups have received $5M or less in funding, companies in the Growth category have received less than $20M in funding and companies in the Scale category have received more than $20M in funding.

Our values include ‘Do The Right Thing’ because when you’re focused on doing the right thing, decisions come easy. ‘Customer-Inspired’ helps provide all of our actions with a foundation. ‘Where The Best Get Better’ because when you build a culture where people are growing and getting better, your team excels. ‘Built to Last’ because when you are dedicated to creating something that is built to last, your customers win. Finally, ‘Aspiring to Lead: Committed to Giving Back,’ because when we support and engage with our communities, we all can thrive together.
