Premier, Inc.

In 1984, Joe Mansueto founded Morningstar in his Chicago apartment with a clear goal: to help investors make better decisions with independent, objective research. He noticed that the investment industry was filled with hidden agendas, confusing data, and conflicts of interest that made it difficult for everyday investors to know what they actually owned. So he created a company built on transparency and independence - one that would provide clear, unbiased analysis so investors could compare, assess, and decide with confidence. Today, Morningstar empowers investors of every kind - from individuals managing their own portfolios to the world's largest financial institutions. With operations in 40-plus offices globally, the company provides connected data, independent research, investor-first tools, and long-term portfolio strategies. Morningstar challenges what's hidden, complex, and inefficient so nothing stands between investors and their goals, serving 4.2 million individual investors, 425,000 financial advisors, and thousands of institutions worldwide.

We're a team building software that helps transit agencies make public transportation more reliable and efficient. Most of us came from the transit world or have spent years thinking about urban mobility, so we understand how frustrating it is when buses don't show up on time or when riders can't trust the information they're given. We're determined to solve this problem properly by creating a data platform that gives agencies the tools they need to run better service. Today, over 200 transit agencies in 12 countries use our platform to share real-time passenger information with riders, manage day-to-day operations, and improve service performance. Our customers include major agencies like LA Metro, MARTA, SEPTA, MBTA, and WMATA. We've helped agencies improve on-time performance by up to 40%, increase passenger information accuracy by up to 50%, and analyze transit data 90% faster. At the end of the day, we're working to make transit a more attractive option for everyone who depends on it to get where they need to go.
