Bright Builders, which markets tools to eBay buyers and sellers, was named the third-fastest growing company in Utah and received MountainWest Capital's Utah 100 Award. The company, founded in 1997, has grown every year, despite the dot-com sector collapse in 2000.

Greg Cole, President, said, "We never thought of the Internet as a money tree. We took it seriously and approached it just like every other type of business. We did the research, created a business model, and didn’t spend beyond our means."

Bright Builders licenses eBay market data for its HammerTap DeepAnalysis, which helps users analyze eBay trends. It also markets Fee Finder and Bidder Block for eBay users (http://www.hammertap.com), as well as an electronic payment catalog tool and other Web-building technology.
