“We’re elated to be recognized as a member of this exceptional community of businesses,” said Kevin Ross, president and founder. “It’s been a thrilling couple of years for the mobile application business and we intend to stay on the forefront of this fast-moving industry.”
Founded in 2006, this is the first year that Metova qualified for the Inc. list.
