Eve Sollberger is a video blogger for Seven Days. She recently visited the new 65,000 square foot office of Dealer.Com, one of vermont’s fastest growing companies. DDC builds websites for car dealers around the country and is one of the top in their industry. They were recognized in September by Inc magazine as being one of the fastest growing private companies in the country. DDC is great for Vermont and Vermont has definitely been great for them. Their new facilities are clearly loved by their employees as you can see in Eva’s video. There’s even a gym (with tennis courts) and an organic cafe.

Check out the video.

There are lots of cool tech companies here. Yesterday’s Vermont 3.0 Creative Tech career jam showed that off. I’ll be blogging (and linking) more about that PHENOMENALLY SUCCESSFUL event shortly.
