"Entrepreneurialism is alive and well here in Austin. The dynamic startup scene continues to fuel economic growth and attract more companies here every day. This growth has helped Square Root build a great team and be selected for this elite list for the second year in a row," said Chris Taylor, CEO of Square Root.
