Hosted by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade in partnership with the Edward Lowe Foundation, Colorado Companies to Watch attracted over 400 nominees, and Honey Stinger was named as one of 50 winners in the 2010 class.

Colorado Companies to Watch, a unique awards program developed by the Edward Lowe Foundation, recognizes second-stage companies that are developing new industry throughout the state. Typically these companies possess such characteristics as being growth focused, privately-held, headquartered in Colorado, six-99 full-time employees and feature $750,000 to $50 million in annual sales. The program allows the state of Colorado to recognize its trend setting leaders that help strengthen the state’s economy.
