Let it grow: Ueno no longer a cute underdog, say experts

Eight pictures of Ueno people wearing frankly very silly masks with the number 5000 on them.

Ueno is the 1189th fastest growing private company in the U.S., according to Inc Magazine's annual guide.

“We’ve never borrowed money, and we’ve never sought outside investment. This is a major accomplishment, and I’m super proud,” said the boss, who also acknowledged that this may undermine the company's reputation as a scrappy, loveable underdog.

Dear Anonymous,

In my experience, no presentation is the same. The  “right” way to present depends on so many different things, including the client, the people, the project and the stage of your project.
