Recently the MountainWest Capital Network announced the top 100 fastest growing companies in Utah. Proud to say that number 7 on the list was SwarmBuilder (aka 3point5).

I founded 3point5 about six years ago. As with every new idea, it takes awhile to get traction. People, although believing they are early adapters, really aren’t.  We got traction when we showed the outdoor companies how many retail salespeople were actively selling their stuff on a daily basis and how few where actually being trained on the brand and its products. The hook? What if we trained these people on line? We could reach a lot of them, especially if you provided product as incentive.

Well, thanks to some forward thinking companies we got traction, and then capital.

And to jump to the here and now…I am very proud of the SwarmBuilder management team. Together we built something special. Almost all of my first hires are still with the company and doing a terrific job.

So, go forth ladies and gentlemen of SwarmBuilder. Continue to prove invaluable to your customers.

And thanks for making this boy from Indiana look better than he is.
