Research Team
The focus of this research is around the transition from small or startup to the lower end of midsized – up to about $150 million in revenues. We call them emerging midsized companies. Companies in this transition are in a formative stage with problems unique to this transition. We look to explore specifically how emerging midsized companies actually manage the nine growth drivers that will propel firms from small up to $150 million revenues and beyond.
