“We’ve been honored over the years with different awards, but as a proud FSU Alumni, being named to the Seminole 100 is extra special,” said Matt DiBlasi, Abyde President and Co-founder. “I learned so many business and life lessons while going to school at FSU that have carried into what we do every day and who we are at Abyde. I’m humbled to be honored with so many other great companies and leaders who embody the Unconquered spirit.”

“The alumni on the Seminole 100 list represent 12 schools and colleges across Florida State University and show the immense value of a degree from FSU,” said Julie Decker, president and CEO of the FSU Alumni Association. “The accomplishments of these alumni exemplify what is possible with tenacity and innovation. We are proud to recognize them for all they have achieved as leaders and entrepreneurs.” 

The 2023 Seminole 100 includes companies from several industries such as construction, finance, legal, marketing, and realty. Of this year’s 100 companies, 80 are based within the state of Florida and a total of 12 U.S. states are represented as part of the 2023 Seminole 100.

Now, you might wonder, “How did a compliance company win an award that sounds so… fiery?” Well, dear reader, it turns out compliance isn’t just about rules and regulations – it’s about revolutionizing the way businesses operate, one HIPAA and OSHA guideline at a time. Our CEO/Spokesperson, Abyde CEO Matt DiBlasi, said: “It is truly humbling and an immense honor for our team. The recognition as an Inno honoree directly reflects our commitment to fulfilling our mission – to revolutionize compliance.

Innovation! We’re not just making sure you’re following the rules; we’re making sure you’re having fun while you do it.

Here at Abyde, we’re committed to ensuring that compliance is as enjoyable as a slice of pie. And let’s face it, pie is delicious. Compliance may not be as tasty, but we’re working on it (patent pending). In all seriousness, we’re humbled and honored to receive this award. A big shoutout to Tampa Bay Inno for recognizing our efforts and to all our fabulous clients who make our work so rewarding. We promise to continue being the life of the compliance party, even if it means wearing a tie to the office occasionally;) Until next time, stay compliant and keep those innovation fires burning!
