Winter Park, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/20/2015 -- GrowFL recently announced the finalists for the first round of their 2015 Florida Companies to Watch competition and Valintry is proud to be included. This awards event, now celebrating its fifth year, honors 50 select second-stage companies from around the state for enriching communities, establishing high quality jobs, developing valuable services and products and broadening new industries throughout the state. This year, out of thousands of small businesses, just 500 Florida growth companies were nominated to participate, and the 101 finalists collectively employ 3,280 full time workers and account for annual revenue of $694 million.

Joe Parris, the President and Co-Founder of Valintry, states, "Our IT Consulting and Staffing company is very proud to have been selected as a Company to Watch finalist by GrowFL in 2015. Our company attributes its success to innovation and hard work on the part of our associates and consultants. Our ability to steal market share and grow so quickly comes from our adherence to our values and unprecedented use of technology, together with our ability to locate talented individuals more rapidly than our rivals."

The Edward Lowe Foundation established the Florida Companies to Watch program to recognize those second-stage businesses excelling in their field. These businesses represent all areas of Florida, not just the major metropolitan areas, and all industries. Judging involves evaluating the past growth of a business and their projected success in the future. In addition, the judges look at the impact a company has in its market, its communities and in the state, as well as its unique strengths, Every company chosen as a finalist has been deemed a company worth watching.

The Florida Companies to Watch awards event consists of two selection rounds. Finalists making it to the second round undergo further evaluation based on their innovative processes, products or services, their empowered employees, company philanthropy and their marketplace performance.

Dr. Tom O'Neal, the GrowFL executive director, reports, "We applaud the finalists of the first round, as they all demonstrate impressive strengths in product innovation, competitive business practices, entrepreneurial leadership and community/social responsibility."

As a part of the competitive selection process, the nominees are required to identify the positive impacts that they have made in their community. Valintry actively supports several local and national organizations that support education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers.

"Even though we are an early-stage startup, we still make room in our budget to give back with our time and resources," Parris announces. "We're especially proud of our contributions to Girls Who Code, a growing organization that encourages girls to get involved in STEM subjects at an early age. We want women to participate more in these high paying, rewarding careers and Valintry's support of Girls Who Code helps us in this mission."

"Our IT Staffing Company is very proud to be recognized in this way. It demonstrates our commitment to partnering with enterprises across the state of Florida and beyond by offering top quality Technology Staffing services.
