Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 Regionals: Northeast list had an average growth rate of 450 percent.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Inc. magazine today revealed that Percent, the revolutionary platform that has created the modern credit marketplace, is No. 15 on its third annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: Northeast list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing Northeast private companies, based in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Northeast economy’s most dynamic segment–its independent small businesses.

“Percent’s impressive growth over the past two years, despite the market volatility during that time, is a testament to our team’s dedication, resilience, and passion for innovation,” said Nelson Chu, Founder and CEO of Percent. “As we continue our mission to reshape and expand private credit markets for the better, we aim to continue this pace of exponential growth and further our commitment to delivering a superior experience for investors, borrowers, and underwriters alike.”

The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Northeast region. Between 2019 and 2021, these private companies had an average growth rate of 450 percent and, in 2021 alone, they added 12,066 jobs and nearly $4.4 billion to the Northeast region’s economy. Companies based in the New York and Boston areas had the highest growth rates overall.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000 Regionals: Northeast, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, metro area, and other criteria, can be found at inc.com/northeast starting February 28, 2023.
