- Community,

A major influence on founders Robert and Jessica Becken is Ron Crawford, who owned an insurance agency in Eugene, Oregon, where the Beckens got their start in insurance. Ron emphasized the importance of excellent customer service, superior communication, transparency, and persistence. The goals set at Range Community Insurance are focused more on community involvement and making a meaningful impact rather than just growing a book of business. Range is an affiliate of the Farmers Union Service Association and is involved with the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, helping them stay informed about the issues impacting farmers and ranchers, a significant part of their client base.

As a provider of scalable services to businesses, Savvy's founder, Jill Simmonds, is focused on building a strong, scalable team that continuously improves and grows as the business develops.
Savvy Strategic Partners differentiates themselves from similar companies by focusing on a more holistic and values-driven approach to growth rather than just implementing systems and processes.

Sprout & Scale Marketing is a digital marketing agency based in Gillette, Wyoming, that aims to bring transformative digital marketing to Wyoming businesses while still capturing the unique, authentic brand of the state. Spout & Scale's mission is to help businesses grow by strategizing and managing their marketing efforts, allowing business owners to focus on running their business using the three core values of empowerment, collaboration, and authenticity.
Founder Adelita Duryea started Sprout & Scale Marketing because she saw a gap between the traditional business practices that are still strongly rooted in Wyoming and the evolving digital landscape that is affecting all businesses no matter where they are. Sprout & Scale further supports small businesses in Gillette and throughout Wyoming by participating in many entrepreneurial and startup communities, including StartUp Challenge Bootcamp, FUEL with the Energy Capital for Economic Development, and the Campbell County Chamber of Commerce. They founded their group, Food For Thought, which brings together a community of local entrepreneurs for regular lunch and learn sessions.
