Mindshare Technologies 2008 Awards

Kurt's company ranked 3rd out of the top 100 fastest growing companies in Utah. I love this pic of him accepting the award (he looks so happy and excited to be standing next to Governor Huntsman). The following is what the news article had to say.... Giving companies prompt customer feedback is at the heart of Mindshare Technologies vision, and is its key to success. The Salt Lake-based company offers clients an automated way to survey and collect a real-time stream of customer feedback. Industries across the market can tap into Mindshare's proprietary technology to instantly improve services and respond to customers. Mindshare also ranked 57th in a recent national top 100 list of IT Service Companies by Inc. magazine. Mindshare began in 2002 and now collects feedback in 67 countries, for 25 different industries and in 14 languages. His company was also named in Inc. Magazine as the top 500 Fastest Growing Private Companies. This plaque, that hangs in our office, is the cover of the magazine. Here is the news release: SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mindshare Technologies, a provider of Enterprise Feedback Management, today announced that it has been named to the 27th annual Inc. 500 fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S. Mindshare’s three-year sales growth of 733% reflects the success the company has had in helping its clients collect actionable feedback from their customers and employees. The list is the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy – America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. They have come a LONG ways (when they first started the company, their office furniture was folding tables and chairs and the office was decorated with unwanted stuff from our houses)! There have been a lot of funny stories about starting up this company, but also a lot of tears, stress, and anxiety. I am proud of him, his hard work, sacrifice, and all his accomplishments.
