WebLink Honored as One of the 2009 Indiana Companies to Watch
INDIANAPOLIS, IN — August 01, 2009 — WebLink International has been recognized as one of the 2009 Indiana Companies to Watch, an awards program presented by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, its Small Business Development Center network, Purdue University and the Edward Lowe Foundation.
Companies honored range from traditional businesses involved in manufacturing, financial services and retail trade to high-tech companies working in the life sciences, information technology, telecommunications, and aerospace industries.
"WebLink’s rapid growth and subsequent recognition by the Indiana Companies To Watch is a testament to our dedication to innovation and providing the association and chamber of commerce markets with powerful membership management software and revenue generating services," said Mike Bryan, WebLink’s vice president of marketing and business development.
More than 500 Indiana companies were nominated for the Companies to Watch program this year. The awards program is unique because of its focus on second-stage companies. Companies to Watch firms must employ between six and 150 full-time equivalent employees, have between $750,000 and $100 million in annual revenue or working capital in place, and demonstrate the intent and capacity to grow based on employee or sales growth, exceptional entrepreneurial leadership, sustainable competitive advantage or other notable strengths.
"We are honored and excited to be recognized as one of Indiana’s Companies to Watch," said WebLink President and CEO DJ Muller. "The companies on this list represent the next generation of business innovators who will be creating jobs and contributing to our economy’s growth for years to come."
This year’s fifty companies from Indiana will be honored as outstanding second-stage companies during the second annual Indiana Companies to Watch awards program, held on Aug. 27 in Indianapolis. View the complete list of companies here:
