Last year, notable companies from a range of industries were celebrated, including:
iCracked
This smart-phone repair and reselling company exemplifies best practices by instilling a company culture of problem-solving and independence instead of enforcing hierarchies.

Zozi
Zozi, a startup providing online booking software for travel outfitters, is benefitting from taking a safe approach to seeking venture capital to help speed growth.
UpCounsel
Two lawyers have taken a pragmatic approach to building a company that matches small and midsize businesses with experienced attorneys and enjoyed a 20-percent month-over- month revenue growth in 2015.
Avant
Avant is an online lending firm on a mission to lower the barriers and costs of borrowing. Since launching in 2012, they've grown from three to over 800 employees, operate in three countries and manage a loan portfolio of more than $3 billion.
Dashed
Whether it's by bicycle, scooter or smart car, Dashed has one primary goal: to be the fastest restaurant-delivery service in the industry. Remaining focused on this singular mission continues to translate to their success.
