Inc. magazine recently revealed that Repsly earned a spot on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This marks the second consecutive year Repsly has received the honor. 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.
Repsly ranked 7th of Boston-based software companies, and was ranked in the top half of all software companies on the list.
“It’s with tremendous pride that we share this recognition in common with some of the world's most iconic brands,” said Matthew Brogie, CEO at Repsly. “We’re especially honored to be recognized by Inc. Magazine for the 2nd consecutive year, and that positive momentum is due in large part to our incredible customers.”
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. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2016 is $100,000; the minimum for 2019 is $2 million.
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.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held virtually from October 23 to 27, 2020. Congratulations again to every firm that made the Inc. 5000 list!
