CLEVELAND: CHAMP, the nation’s leading provider of digital solutions to motor vehicle agencies, today announced it has been named to Forbes' America’s Best Startup Employers 2026 list. This distinction recognizes CHAMP's demonstrated commitment to cultivating an exemplary workplace culture and investing in the professional development and well-being of its employees.

The Forbes Best Startup Employers list is compiled annually in partnership with market research firm Statista, evaluating thousands of companies across key indicators including employer reputation, employee satisfaction, and organizational growth. Inclusion on this list reflects a company's sustained dedication to creating a workplace environment in which employees are empowered to perform at the highest level.

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, CHAMP develops and deploys secure, modular SaaS platforms designed to replace outdated, paper-based legacy systems at state motor vehicle agencies and departments of motor vehicles across the United States. The company's technology has demonstrated measurable impact at scale. CHAMP has raised more than $100 million in total capital to date and has earned consecutive placements on the 2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and the Inc. 5000, affirming its position as one of North America's fastest-growing technology companies.

"This recognition by Forbes reflects the caliber of the individuals who have chosen to build their careers at CHAMP," said Shane Bigelow, Chief Executive Officer of CHAMP. "Our ability to deliver transformative technology to government agencies across the country is a direct result of the talent, discipline, and dedication of this team. We have always maintained that operational excellence begins with organizational excellence, and being named among the best startup employers in the nation is a meaningful validation of that philosophy."

CHAMP's people-centered approach has been instrumental in attracting and retaining highly skilled professionals in a competitive technology landscape. The company fosters a culture of accountability, innovation, and mission-driven purpose - values that resonate with employees committed to modernizing critical public infrastructure.

"Being included on the Forbes Best Startup Employers list is a reflection of the intentional and ongoing work we do to build a workplace where people can thrive," said Matt Smith, Vice President of Human Resources at CHAMP. "We are deeply committed to creating an environment defined by professional growth, inclusive leadership, and a shared sense of purpose. The work our employees do has a direct and lasting impact on millions of Americans, and we take seriously our responsibility to ensure they have the support, resources, and culture necessary to do their best work."

This recognition follows a series of notable achievements for CHAMP in 2025, including the company's National Digital Titling Clearinghouse (NDTC) earning the 2025 AutoTech Breakthrough Award for Auto Dealership Technology of the Year and the selection of CHAMP by Louisiana's Office of Motor Vehicles to modernize the state's vehicle registration and driver's license services.
