(Photos provided by respective companies)In the current zeitgeist, remote and flexible work are out. Corporate diversity and inclusion are taboo. And if your boss is the federal government, you might be asked to enumerate and defend your productivity over the past week. But that isn’t true everywhere. The five finalists for the 2025 GeekWire Awards’ Workplace of the Year aren’t taking their leadership and company culture cues from news headlines

I have a wide network of product managers and data scientists, and the vast majority of them are working on an AI integration or product of some sort. Companies talk about AI with enthusiasm — who doesn’t want “perfect” coffee?The market’s roaring enthusiasm for AI technology doesn’t transfer to individuals, though. Gallup’s 2024 survey found that only 13% of Americans believe AI does more good than harm. On top of that, 77% don’t trust businesses to use AI responsibly.I’m a data scientist in Seattle, so I wondered: how are local companies approaching the AI trend? Is it really everywhere in the startup bubble, or am I in an even smaller AI bubble? Is the hype out of control? Are they publicly committed to responsibility? (Spoiler: You’re not going to like all the answers).I took a deep dive into the public-facing content of some of the fastest-growing startups in the Pacific Northwest to analyze their AI-related language.Data and methodsThe GeekWire 200 is a ranked list of 200 fast-growing startups in the Pacific Northwest
