SAN FRANCISCO--()--Inc. magazine today revealed that Nylas, a leading provider of communications APIs for developers, is No. 602 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“Winning this award is a true testament to the work and value our team has accomplished,” said Gleb Polyakov, CEO of Nylas. “Our biggest strength is the different perspectives the Nylas team contributes to achieve our mission of connecting the world. As our inaugural year on the Inc. 5000 list, making it within the top 1,000 confirms the drive for innovation and dedication from our team. The momentum we have now is only going up from here as we continue advancing our product, hiring exceptional people and empowering our customers to build what they love.”

Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent, and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.

Methodology

The 2020 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2016 and 2019. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2019.

As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue.
