The RedHawk50 identifies, recognizes, and celebrates the 50 fastest-growing Miami-owned or Miami-led businesses in the world. The RedHawk50 not only celebrates their success, but it also provides a forum to recognize and celebrate the Miami University graduates and former students that founded, own, and/or lead those businesses each year and serve as a vehicle for them to pass lessons learned to the next generation of Miami entrepreneurs.
The rankings were based on the compound annual growth rate of companies over a three-year period. Verdant Commercial Capital was recognized at number 15 on the list.
Two of Verdant’s founders, Mike Rooney and John Merritt, are Miami University alumni.
