Why Tech Company Revibro Chose Montana

“Every tech company that can start in Montana and be maintained in Montana is in Montana’s interest. Perhaps [the] biggest impact locally, changing the story from we make wheat to we make wheat and a bunch of cool science stuff.”

"We wouldn’t be able to compete at the level that we do if we were located anywhere else in the country. It’s a distinguishing factor of why many of our partners want to work with us."
