This is like giving the Olive Garden an award for treating people like family. That’s the whole thing. 

Here’s what our CEO Andrew had to say —“Being named an Emerging 8 company is special to us because it reflects our mission,” said Andrew Warmath, Carmigo founder and CEO. “We have the words ‘Make it easy’ covering a wall in our office because we want to use our technology to make buying and selling cars easier. This recognition affirms our mission.”

As a part of the recognition, Carmigo is featured in the April issue of Auto Fin Journal and will be recognized at the April 19 Auto Intel Summit in Raleigh, N.C. Our CFO, Daniel Kim, is going to be there to accept the recognition and speak on a panel. 

We’ll leave you with one more quote from the kind folks at Cherokee Media Group:
