Tapestry Technologies was founded in 2005 by Jacquie Sipes, Jim Govekar, and Cindy Whitmer with Sipes serving as the company’s CEO.[1] Since its inception, the company has focused on performing defense contract work under the category of woman-owned small business. It was recognized by Fortune Magazine as one of the Top 20 Great Workplaces in Technology for 2014 [4] and listed on the Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States.[5] At the start of 2015, Tapestry had $10 million in revenue and a three-year sales growth of 217%.[1][5][6] By May 2015, the company had 73 employees occupying about 20,000 square feet of office space.[1]
