I’m Jeff Tanner, Dean of the Strome College of Business, and this is a Strome Business Minute. According to Virginia Business Magazine, Virginia is home to 281 companies listed in the Inc 5000, comprised of the fastest growing companies in America. Other than growth, criteria for the list include that they must be private independent companies, not divisions or subsidiaries, and that they had to be at least one hundred thousand in revenue five years ago. Number one in Virginia is Sassy Jones, an online retailer of jewelry and accessories based in Richmond. We had one in the 757, Kern Technology Group in Virginia Beach, a government services provider primarily serving maritime and defense customers in developing new products and solutions. The company grew over 1,000 percent, placing them at number 407 on the list. This has been a Strome Business Minute, presented by the Strome College of Business at Old Dominion University.
