Nineteen South Florida companies were announced as finalists for the upcoming 12th annual GrowFL Florida companies to watch.

Each year GrowFL announced the second-stage growth companies who are in the running to be named GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch Honorees. The finalists are selected from more than 400 nominations from throughout Florida and represent a diverse group of growing companies representing a variety of industries. Finalists completed a second-round application and underwent a final round of judging before the top 50 companies were selected.

Companies to Watch was developed by the Edward Lowe Foundation as a unique way to recognize and honor second-stage companies that demonstrate high performance in the marketplace with innovative strategies and processes. In addition to evaluating past growth and projected success, applicant companies are judged according to their special strengths and impact in their markets, communities, and within the state – thus deeming them worth watching. This year’s awards celebration is brought to you by Nperspective CFO & Strategic Services, in association with the Edward Lowe Foundation.

To qualify for the award, companies must have between 6 and 150 employees and revenue between $750,000 and $100 million in 2021. Knowing these companies were reporting on employment and revenue after a pandemic, it is remarkable to note that in 2021, the companies reported a total of more than 2,000 jobs and generated close to $430 million in revenue. These companies anticipate growth of 40-percent in revenue and 18-percent in employment by the end of 2022.

“This group of business owners represents the remarkable second-stage businesses operating across the state of Florida,” said Jennifer Taylor, President, and CEO of GrowFL.

“They demonstrate the agility, perseverance and innovation needed to take their business to the next level. GrowFL is proud to support Florida’s second-stage entrepreneurs and help to play a part in celebrating their success. This group of Finalists are only just getting started and we look forward to watching their continued growth and impact on Florida’s economy. “

Congratulations to all the 12th Annual GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch finalists. Honorees for this year’s award will be announced in October and GrowFL will host its annual awards celebration on February 23, 2023, at Hard Rock Live, Universal City Walk, Orlando, FL.
