SARASOTA – Three local businesses have been recognized by a state program that honors so-called “second stage” growth companies.
Biolife, Method Factory and My Green Buildings were named 2012 “Florida Companies to Watch.”
The statewide program selects companies based on employment and revenue growth, as well as on leadership, innovation, community responsibility and competitive business practices.
Companies to Watch will be recognized at an October event, the organization said.
Biolife, whose WoundSeal product is now sold in about 16,000 retail outlets nationally, is a 12-year-old company that has grown substantially in recent years. Earlier this year, Biolife reported 32 employees, but the company said it expects to double employment in the next few years.
Method Factory is a Sarasota-based software development business that has been around for more than a decade.
My Green Buildings, a company that specializes in building sustainable houses, in 2009 held the distinction of having built “the greenest house in the state.”
Last year, it won the Frank G. Berlin Sr. Small Business award as a “Think Green” entity from the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce.
Actual Testimonials

I was in my garage cutting stained glass for a collage for my daughter’s window. As I was working it into the frame, somehow, I managed to cut my finger pretty bad. I had a first aid kit and saw WoundSeal my wife had bought and applied it. With a simple pour and press, the bleeding stopped and I was able to complete my project with little mess on me or the glass. It could have been a lot worse but it wasn’t thanks to WoundSeal.

Thanks for a great product! I was hunting with friends, miles away from camp, when I fell and cut my hand on some rocks. With no first aid kit around, I remembered I had WoundSeal in my pocket. I used it and it stopped bleeding as you promised. I remained in the hunt and had a great day. Everyone should have this product.

Just used some on my Dad. He is 80 and bleeds easily. Our dog accidentally scratched him & he was bleeding & it wasn’t clotting off. I went online & searched for a remedy & found out about WoundSeal. I bought an extra package to carry with me & I’m glad I did. It will be handy in case of any nick or cut we might incur. I would recommend it to any caregiver with someone who bleeds easily/or has thin skin. D. Beard, TN
