Tech Firms Dominate 2009 Utah 100 Awards

Utah 100 logo

The latest rankings of the fastest-growing firms in Utah is out, and once again technology firms dominate the annual listing.

Produced by the MountainWest Capital Network (MWCN), the Utah 100is designed to identify and recognize the fastest-growing companies in the state (based upon percentage revenue growth). Inaugurated 15 years ago by the MWCN (then known as the MountainWest Venture Group), the Utah 100 is arguably now the most prestigious business award program held in the state.

[Disclosure: I was a board member of the MWVG when the Utah 100 was first conceived and launched; additionally, Politis Communications is a past Utah 100 honoree.]

The 2009 Utah 100 honorees were selected from thousands of eligible companies throughout the state and were ranked/judged based upon their percentage growth between 2004 and 2008, with a minimum of $50,000 in revenue in 2004. [NOTE: The MWCN does NOT validate/confirm the figures submitted by companies.]

As in years past, companies in the high-tech and life sciences industries dominated the Utah 100 honoree listing, with 53 garnering a slot in this year’s list (assuming my math is correct). Enclosed below is a breakout of the companies I consider to be tech firms on the 2009 Utah 100 list.

These companies are listed as following: Ranking first, followed by company name, city where located, URL (if one exists), and if the company has been in the Utah 100 ranking more than one time, I include the number of years inside of parentheses following the company Web address. Hence, a multi-year winning company based in Hyrum, Utah would appear as follows: 25. CompanyName, Hyrum, www.companyname.com (3)

Here, then, is the list.

Within the Emerging Elite category, nine of these firms fit my definition of high-tech firms, including (in alphabetical order)
