Last night, we attended the awards gala for the Utah Student 25, which is designed to recognize the top 25 student-founded businesses in Utah. Companies are nominated, then proceed through a selection process until the top 25 are picked, then ranked by revenue growth. We were honored to make the top 25, and even more honored to find out that we came in at #8! Governor Herbert made some remarks, as did Josh James and John Pestana of Omniture, an Orem-based company that was recently sold to Adobe for $600 million.
Three companies that placed in the top twelve are founded by Westminster College Students (including ours), so it was great to see "the little school that could" represented so well.
