From honoree to judge: Kaycee Miller of Rentec Direct joins expert panel to recognize the entrepreneurs shaping the future of small business
Following Rentec Direct‘s recognition as one of the nation’s top small businesses in 2024, co-owner Kaycee Miller has been appointed to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s expert panel of judges to help select the 2025 CO—100. Chosen from more than 14,000 applicants nationwide, this annual list celebrates the 100 small businesses that stand out as change-makers, innovators and problem-solvers driving growth both locally and globally.
“Being a CO—100 honoree has been an incredible opportunity—not just for the recognition, but for the chance to share the stage with other inspiring companies making a real difference in their communities and industries,” said Kaycee Miller, Co-Owner of Rentec Direct.
“The program highlighted Rentec Direct’s success story on a national platform that celebrates the impact of small businesses. I’m proud to now serve as a judge alongside some of the most brilliant minds in the country,” she continued.
The CO—100 recognizes small businesses that achieve sustained success while making a positive impact on their communities and industries, with a focus on innovation, company culture and customer satisfaction. Rentec Direct secured its spot as one of the top 100 small businesses in the U.S. on the 2024 list as a Community Champion, applauded for its agile decision-making, customer-driven product development and deep commitment to community engagement.
Miller co-owns Rentec Direct with founder and CEO Nathan Miller and also serves as the company’s Director of Marketing and Operations. She has spearheaded the company’s annual Tech Mastery Scholarship program for Oregon students, facilitated community service projects with a wide variety of organizations, and helped the company land on the list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for nearly a decade. Miller is passionate about collaborating with other entrepreneurs and regularly shares her insights with publications like Small Business Currents. Locally, she is Vice President of the Southern Oregon Regional Economic Development Board of Directors and sits on the Rogue Community College Business Advisory Committee.
The CO—100 judges, including representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and leading business media, select 100 businesses (or honorees), evaluating applicants on their origin stories, what makes them unique, how they have overcome challenges and their relationships with their communities, customers and employees. The 2025 CO—100 will be announced in early September, with one business to be named the Top Business of 2025.
