Companies Alphabetically
Below are the companies I have mentioned in the Mountain View Voice, a local paper.
Companies are grayed out when they are not in Mountain View. The lightest gray ones have disappeared or were never in Mountain View. Companies that have moved out of Mountain View are in a darker gray. I might only mention a company's revenues, or give a company a brief mention because they were at an event. In other cases, a whole article may be devoted to a company.
