Launch Fishers has been one of the great local economic success stories. A co-working space operation with the backing of Mayor Scott Fadness and the leadership of founder John Wechsler, Launch has seen many of the small business hatched at the incubator.
On Tuesday, the City of Fishers announced three firms, currently members of Launch, are growing. Those businesses are Vendor Jump, Ultimate Automation and Sales Tuners.
Vendor Jump specializes in world-wide e-commerce retailing, and has plans to expand its work force by 26 full-time positions.
Ultimate Automation is adding 31 new full-time jobs and plans a capital investment of over $1 million as of 2021. The firm sells commercial audio-visual services, automation and information technology services.
Sales Tuners is a weekly podcast with a focus on tech and sales. Look for 25 new jobs there by 2021.
Mayor Fadness says Launch has always been all about entrepreneurship and support for companies as they grow. “As we’ve started to see successes such as these today, it’s not only a testament to the ecosystem here in Fishers, but more so to the dedication of these entrepreneurs who continue to grow and prosper,” said Fadness in a city news release.
Fishers officials say these announcements, added to other job commitments since 2015, totals-up to over 4,100 job commitments by Fishers-based businesses.
