BUSINESS HIGHLIGHT Chairman Sikes introduced CareerSource North Central Florida Executive Director Anne Favre, who introduced Rick Carlson, CEO and founder of Gainesville-headquartered SharpSpring, to present to the board. Mr. Carlson began by expressing his gratitude for the CareerSource Florida network and the role it played in the growth of SharpSpring, a marketing automation company that was formed in 2012 and launched its product in 2014. Mr. Carlson shared the story of his company’s formation, including its rapid growth from three employees in 2012 to an expected 115 employees in Gainesville this coming year. The rapid growth of Mr. Carlson’s company caught the attention of a larger company who purchased SharpSpring, kept the company name and then moved its headquarters from Boston to Gainesville, where 85 people currently are employed with an additional 150 around the world. SharpSpring is expected to have $20 million in revenue this year, and the Gainesville headquarters is expected to grow to 115 employees. With the growth potential in this industry, Mr. Carlson said the company is expected to grow to 200-300 employees. Mr. Carlson said the resources and grants that the network provided have made the difference in the success of his company. The support from the network helped the company hire key employees at a critical time in the company’s development and defer the cost of these employees until they were productive. There are significant barriers to hiring new employees as there is a long training period prior to them making an impact for the company. However, Mr. Carlson, explained the grants solved those problems for SharpSpring as it enabled them to hire faster. Mr. Carlson concluded his presentation by thanking the board. His presentation was followed by a short question and answer session. CONSENT ITEM Chairman Sikes explained the Consent Item: Approval of Feb. 3, 2016, Board of Directors meeting minutes.
