The Team Behind Untappd, Untappd For Business, Ollie, Beer Advocate, Oznr, And Hop Culture Honored To Be Among The Other 543 Honorees

Next Glass has been named to Inc.’s annual Best Workplaces list. Highlighted on Inc.com, this list is the outcome of an extensive assessment of companies that have excelled in building and fostering outstanding workplaces and company cultures, whether they operate in physical locations or virtually.

Featuring globally recognizable brands such as Untappd, the industry’s fastest-growing brewery software, Ollie, and the preferred platform for digital menus, Untappd For Business, Next Glass proudly stands as the worldwide leader in bevtech by delivering cutting-edge solutions to the beverage alcohol industry.

The innovative experiences, solutions, and thriving company culture created by Next Glass are driven by a predominantly remote-first workforce, with nearly 80% of employees distributed outside of the company’s headquarters located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Though a remote-first organization, Next Glass holds strong ties to the Charlotte community and is proud to share this honor with 12 other North Carolina companies, including Pendo, Tego, Storagely, and Hylaine, among others.

I’m so proud of our group and thankful to everyone on our team for promoting such a strong culture that produces great results for our customers,

Trace Smith, CEO, Next Glass

After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 543 honorees this year. Each company that was nominated took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture. The organization’s benefits were also audited to determine the overall score and ranking.

“I’m so proud of our group and thankful to everyone on our team for promoting such a strong culture that produces great results for our customers,” said Next Glass CEO Trace Smith. “We do this by embodying our Core Values each day and by having fun building great things together.”

“Each year, Inc.’s Best Workplaces program recognizes the very best in terms of companies that have fostered a truly amazing culture,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Mike Hofman. “We use hard metrics and data as well as qualitative measures for judging in order to find the very best—and we’re proud that the program is highly selective.”
