Green Goo and the other winners were honored at the 13th Annual Gala Awards Ceremony that night at the Hyatt Regency Denver at the Colorado Convention Center.

Award-winning companies play an important role in the Centennial State's recovery from the COVID-19 economic downturn.
To be considered for selection as one of the Colorado Companies to Watch, enterprises must meet several criteria over the past year, including facing issues of growth as opposed to survival, employing six to 99 full-time equivalent W-2 employees, and being past the startup stage.

We are proud to have offered relevant supplies to our neighbors and communities in order to assist recoveries in a multitude of sectors here in our home stat. Congratulations to all of this year's Colorado Companies to Watch Award winners."
