Member Testimonials
“It’s been great being a part of the Alliance and getting the opportunity to network with other business leaders from around the state. We are in agreement with the belief that, even though unemployment rates are low in many parts of Montana, good jobs with benefits and compensation that allow for the costs of raising a family are difficult to find. We as business leaders can work to increase the state’s average wage, and as an organization work to entice former Montanans to return home, both for good paying manufacturing jobs and for high tech opportunities here and through telecommuting. Working together, we can pave the way to a better, more prosperous tomorrow here in the state we call home.”
Thanks to Kristen Heck, LC Staffing; Leland Johnson, ExcelliMatrix; Parker Tracey, ATP Advisors; Paul Gladen, UM Blackstone LaunchPad; and Les Craig, Next Frontier Capital for sharing with us what they get out of their membership with the Montana High Tech Business Alliance.

“I found my job at TOMIS through the MHTBA jobs portal! When you want to work for a startup company, MHTBA is a good place to find those jobs. What’s more, after the High Growth Companies to Watch article came out, we noticed a surge of inquiries about open positions.”
“We received a flood of resumes from Washington, Colorado and Utah from talent looking to move to Bozeman and work for our company. This is a true testament of the value that MHTBA is creating for not only our local and statewide economies, but also speaks to their reach throughout the northwest... We have been absolutely overwhelmed with the diversity and quality of mentor support circulating through Montana’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. From our humble beginnings starting up as students at MSU, to becoming employers of some of Montana’s top technology talent, we can directly correlate our achievements to the vertical and statewide network.”
