Wishlist Top Company: Parallel Path

by Mackenzie Davids
November 6, 2013

We are fortunate enough to live in a state that supports expansive creativity, innovative thinking, and a drive to succeed. Colorado is home to a dense number of start-up companies, most notably in tech-industries. The entrepreneurial community here is nothing short of supportive. With a wide array of networking events and open houses, it’s no wonder this is such a tight nit community. In an effort to support that community culture, Wishlist likes to recognize companies that we feel have led the way for other start-ups in our community.

[ibimage==24243==Medium==none==self==ibimage_align-center]We would like to introduce the latest company to catch our attention, Parallel Path. This data-driven online marketing firm is based right in the heart of beautiful Boulder, with a home right off the Pearl Street Mall. With a rather small team and fairly large client base, Parallel Path has grown leaps and bounds since being established in 2005.

Awards and Recognition:

Boulder County Business Report

Earlier this year, the Boulder County Business Report recognized Parallel Path as one of the 25 fastest growing companies. In the last three years alone, this internet based marketing firm grew 70% and earned an annual revenue of over $2 million. This was not the first time that Parallel Path has been recognized by the BCBR. Since 2009, this company has been consistently acknowledged as one of the 25 fastest growing companies with revenues under $2 million.

Inc 5000

Inc. 500|5000 is a ranking of the fastest growing privately owned companies in the US. Parallel Path found themselves among many respected companies on this list in 2013, due to their exponential revenue growth from 2009 – 2012. Also found on this list were 20 other Boulder/Broomfield based, thriving businesses.

Employee Benefits: As a company that helps organizations enhance their employee benefit programs, we are most intrigued to see how other companies establish their unique company culture. With a fairly small team of 22 employees, Parallel Path does a great job of finding ways to keep the creative juices flowing and the staff smiling.  They have created a very laid back yet motivating workplace environment. Attire is business casual, having fun is encouraged, and the staff is treated extremely well. Here are some of the awesome and unique perks of working for Parallel Path:
