OptConnect, a longtime leader in managed wireless services, today announced that they have been named to MountainWest Capital Network’s (MWCN) annual Utah 100 List of the state’s fastest-growing companies. This is OptConnect’s seventh year on the list.
MWCN’s exclusive awards program brings together investors, entrepreneurs and professional service providers while recognizing Utah’s 100 fastest-growing companies and the economic and business impact they bring to the state. In addition to recognizing the Utah 100 list, MWCN recognizes the Top Revenue-growth companies, as well as the Emerging Elite—the state’s top startups just breaking into the scene.
“It’s been incredible to see how much we’ve grown in recent years,” said Chris Baird, CEO at OptConnect. “I am proud that we have been able to continue our success as we have added more and more satisfied customers, expanded into new markets, and developed new products.”
Founded in 1994, the Utah 100 Award is the flagship event for the MountainWest Capital Network and attracts thousands of the top business leaders in the state. James Lawrence, The Iron Cowboy, will present a keynote address at the awards event, where the final Utah 100 rankings will be released. Utah 100 honorees are ranked according to a weighted average revenue calculation of percentage and dollar growth over a five-year period through December 2020, while those in the Top 15 Revenue category are ranked based on the highest total dollar growth over the same five-year period. Companies are only allowed to be recognized in one category.
“Every year we assemble this list, we are more encouraged by the strength and resilience of Utah’s economy and the broad spectrum of companies that underpin our state’s business foundations,” said Dave Chase, chairman of the MWCN Utah 100 committee. “Even in the unusual circumstances brought on by the pandemic, we see success among businesses of all sizes and many different industries.”
