Selected
the company being only xx years old
I would do it this way:
"despite the company being only xx years old"
or if it can be done in the context a straight verb is less wishy washy than a gerund
"although the company is only xxx years old"
"despite the company being only xx years old"
or if it can be done in the context a straight verb is less wishy washy than a gerund
"although the company is only xxx years old"
