About the Award

What the Spark Awards recognize

The Spark Awards for Entrepreneurship come from the BBB Foundation, the nonprofit arm of Better Business Bureau. They are open to businesses that have been running for three years or less, or whose owners are 35 or younger.

Each applicant writes about three things: character, culture, and community. Judges who have won BBB awards themselves score the finalists, and BBB Great West + Pacific names winners by region and business size. TIPS was named a 2026 winner for Idaho.

Why It Matters to Us

We started TIPS to treat carriers how we'd want to be treated.

Bailey and Samantha started TIPS in 2025 after nearly 10 years each in the industry, with a plan to run things differently: clear pricing, no charges for filings you don't need, and one compliance agent who knows your company.

“Every day since we started TIPS, we've had to choose between doing the easy thing, or the right thing. Us standing here today is proof that staying true to your values and refusing to compromise does not go unrecognized.”

Bailey Hoak, accepting the 2026 Spark Award

Thank you to BBB, to the carriers across the country who put their trust in us, to our team at TIPS who make it all possible, and to the family and friends who cheered us on.
