Industry Mainstay

Emergent Software is a verifiable, high-growth B2B technology consultancy based in Minneapolis with over $12M in estimated annual revenue and ~100 employees. The company has strong verifiable traction (Inc. 5000, MSPBJ Fast 50 awards). However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audienceReach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') which necessitated a significant penalty to the Response Quality and Audience Reach metrics. Despite the poor submission, the underlying business is robust, profitable, and highly useful in the enterprise market.
