An email from a BFD reader:

George,

I saw this in Inc. Magazine. It is the list of the fastest growing privately held companies in the US. There are no companies from Cleveland, let alone Ohio and only two that could be considered from the Midwest in the top 25.

A couple thoughts, what could Cleveland do to get some of our local companies on that list? OR what would it take to contact all those companies and see what it would take to get them to relocate here?

Take a look:
