“It’s exciting to be on this list and be recognized alongside so many great companies,” said Brandt Page, CEO of Launch Leads. “It really is an honor.”

The Utah Valley Entrepreneurial Forum (UVEF) recognizes the best emerging companies in the state of Utah based on revenue growth and job creation. The UVEF uses these awards to help promote local companies that may become industry leaders throughout the region, state and the world. Recent winners include ZAGG, Interbank FX, Seastone, Altiris and Omniture.

The success and accolades are extremely rewarding for Brandt Page, who started Launch Leads in his living room just under 3 years ago.

“Innovation was the key,” he said. “We brought to market a business that people actually needed and wanted: a way to get more leads and sales opportunities by providing a service for the thing sales people hate most: cold-calling and prospecting.”
