The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment - its independent small businesses.

“Eight years of recognition is truly a remarkable feat,” said Chris Weiler, CEO of KLDiscovery. “As we begin our next chapter as a publicly traded company, this is an opportunity to reflect on the employees and clients who have been critical to our success over the years.”

But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”
