Inc. 5000 is a annual media recognizing excellence in Business. Organized by Inc. Magazine, it covers the North America region.
The Inc. 5000 is Inc. magazine's annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America, based on verified three-year revenue growth. Making the list is a data-driven credential — there is no subjective judging — which is precisely why it is so widely used in B2B sales, recruiting, and fundraising materials.
Honorees receive a profile on Inc.com, use of the Inc. 5000 logo, and an invitation to the annual Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala. Repeat appearances compound the signal, and regional lists (Inc. Regionals) offer additional placements earlier in the year.
To qualify, companies must be US-based, independent, and privately held, with revenue thresholds in both the base and most recent year of the measurement window.
