The Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies

The Inc. 5000 is a prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation and shaping the future of the economy. Among the 5,000 companies on this year's list, the median revenue growth rate was 130 percent, with those recognized generating a combined $385 billion in revenue.

"Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision-making, and a refusal to sit still," said Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc.
