Fonteva Recognized by SBA for International Success

ARLINGTON, VA, May 03, 2018 -- The U.S. Small Business Administration’s Washington Metropolitan Area District Office (WMADO) has selected Fonteva as the district’s 2018 Small Business Exporter of the Year.

Since founding Fonteva in 2010 Paul Lundy, Mac Anderson, and Jerry Huskins have focused on building a company to serve a global market. The Fonteva platform which powers solutions for membership and events includes multi-lingual and multi-currency features as a core part of the product. 

“Fonteva is the first and only solution for membership organizations that is multilingual and multi-currency out of the box, making it the obvious choice for any association with a global reach,” said Huskins, who serves as Fonteva’s CEO.

These efforts and the product’s functionality paved the way for early expansion into foreign markets, as Fonteva opened its London office to serve Europe in 2012. The ability to serve customers with diverse international membership rosters has also helped Fonteva acquire and retain clients such as Harley Davidson Users Group, AO Foundation, Royal College of General Practitioners and CFA International.

As Antonio Doss, Director of the US Small Business Administration’s Washington Metropolitan Area District Office, observed, “I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Jerry Huskins at Fonteva, the local winner of SBA’s 2018 Small Business Exporter of the Year Award. Not only was I was impressed by Fonteva’s international reach and customer-centered approach to problem solving, but I was equally struck by the company’s bedrock commitment to end-user satisfaction. Taking such a ‘global’ perspective toward the business of member engagement and event management has clearly earned Jerry and his talented team at Fonteva this coveted recognition.”
