“We are honored to be recognized for the second consecutive year as one of the best entrepreneurial companies in America, amidst an incredible list of honorees,” said Ely Kaplansky, President and CEO of Kaplansky.

“Our annual evaluation of vetted data offers a 360-degree analysis of top privately-held companies across a multitude of industries,” explains Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “They are deemed successful not only by revenue numbers, but by how well-rounded they are.
