On Dec. 8, 2022, 135 companies from Northeast Ohio were recognized by the Weatherhead School of Management at the Weatherhead 100 event for their leadership, growth and success in the region. The event took place at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown with over 650 guests representing about 80 of the winning companies.
Established in 1988, the Weatherhead 100 awards are the premier celebration of the companies leading the way in Northeast Ohio. Organizations that make the list are recognized for their percentage of revenue growth over the past five years.
The awards are separated into three categories: Upstart, Centurion and the Weatherhead 100. Upstart companies are fast-growing companies with 15 or fewer employees, or net sales of less than $5 million in the last year. Centurion companies are fast-growing companies with at least $100 million net sales last year. Weatherhead 100 companies are celebrated for big growth in net sales over the past five years—from at least $100K to $1 million.
The top winners in each category included:
- Upstart winner: Even Mix (pictured)
- Centurion winner: CrossCountry Mortgage
- Weatherhead 100 winner: Fuzion Sports
