Ann Arbor SPARK fasttracks 12 local companies

Wednesday, November 19, 2008 | Source: Concentrate
Ann Arbor SPARK's 2008 FastTrack reads like a who's who of innovative Ann Arbor-area start-ups.

There are media darlings like Menlo Innovations and up-and-comers like LLamasoft. All in all, the 12 are companies any other Michigan community would sell the farm (and the cow and the tractor) to attract to their backyard.

Washtenaw County's 'Gleaming Dozen' were recognized for their outstanding business successes. And that's during normal economic circumstance. They get an extra attaboy for surviving the current economic climate.

Companies that were recognized must be headquartered in Washtenaw County, have at least $100,000 gross revenue and average 20 percent growth for three years running.

One-year recipients include LLamasoft, Saline Lectronics and University Bancorp. The list of two-year companies reads like ForeSee Results, Latitude Consulting Group and Shepherd Advisors.

AKASHA, Adaptive Materials, Online Technologies Corporation and Soft-Link International received three-year FastTrack. And at the top of the list, four-year FastTrack: HealthMedia and Menlo Innovations.
