A common fact: the face of the industry is always changing. The natural evolution of the business constantly continues, bringing about new work models, new practices and methodologies, and new demands. Here at Smith Hanley, it is our job to keep an eye to the marketplace- notice trends, patterns, areas of growth- so that we can continue to provide insight and guidance as you navigate the waters of your career.
As of late, we’ve spotted a resurgence in the number of start-up businesses showing up on the radar, and thought it worth noting. Similar to the great amount of dot-coms that sprung up within the last decade, the start-up seems to be making a comeback… a strong one at that.
With the promise of excitement and the opportunity to make a big impact in a small organization, we’ll be keeping our eye on these companies, and thought that you might like to, as well.
