Letter from the Publisher
Josh Schimmels
Welcome to our annual celebration of companies from the prestigious hundred fastest growing private companies list that have emerged as genuine “disruptors.” One of the great things about the Los Angeles region is that we have historically incubated a remarkable number of disruptive companies here. And there are quite a few that are doing innovative work right now.
To be a disruptor in 2023 took ingenuity, game-changing creativity, outside-the-box thinking, maverick leadership, trendsetting practices, and an attitude that blends a constant eye toward the future and a refusal to settle for mediocrity. In this special section, we shine the spotlight on such companies in a variety of categories with which to honor them. Our Disruptor of the Year Award, Innovator Award, Accelerator Award, Social Responsibility Award and Sustainability Award were all presented to their worthy recipients on December 7th as part of a special event at the Biltmore Los Angeles in conjunction with our unveiling of the 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies List.
Descriptions of each of the Disruptor Award honorees and the nalists for each category are included in these pages. Many thanks to our Diamond Sponsor, Fifth Third Bank for continued support of this program. Thank you, as well, to Platinum Sponsors Montage Insurance Solutions and R&D Incentives Group. Congratulations to all the disruptors and thanks for the inspiration!
