Seattle – July 21, 2015 – SkyKick (www.skykick.com) today announced that it has been named one of the “100 Best Companies to Work For” by the Seattle Business magazine. Now in its 26th year, the magazine selected winning companies from all across the state of Washington based on confidential employee surveys analyzing multiple factors—including corporate culture, benefits program, employee development and management team. Notable companies recognized alongside Skykick include Zillow, GoDaddy, Redfin, Simply Measured, Porch.com and more.
“This recognition comes at a moment of pivotal growth for SkyKick,” said Evan Richman, founder and co-CEO at SkyKick. “With recent additional funding, we’re expanding our teams to support the global demand for our latest products by investing in our most valuable asset, our employees. This award reflects our commitment to provide a positive workspace and shared mission, helping ensure we continue to offer leading cloud services to our highly valued channel partners.”
“SkyKick is one of those rare companies that can manage explosive growth while keeping their employees motivated and excited to come to work every day,” said Michael Romoser, associate publisher of Seattle Business. “With more businesses than ever being evaluated this year for the Best Companies to Work For award, it is apparent that SkyKick has gone above and beyond to make their employees their top investment.”
In June 2015, SkyKick secured $10 million in strategic financing bringing its total capital raised to $17.2 million. The company is using the additional funding to accelerate product development, and expand sales and marketing to support its cloud management platform. SkyKick recently launched a new category of cloud management products called Cloud Management-as-a-Service (CMaaS) that includes its new Cloud Backup and Cloud Manager products in addition to its existing award-winning Cloud Migration Suites.
SkyKick and other winning companies were honored at an awards dinner on July 1, 2015 at the Washington State Convention Center. Seattle Business magazine hosted more than 1,000 attendees at this year’s gala.
