The Inc. 5,000 makes its debut this year. It’s a tenfold expansion of the 25-year-old Inc. 500, Inc. magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. The Inc. 5,000 is the most complete portrait of the universe of growing private companies ever assembled. This extension of the Inc. 500 brand shines a spotlight on thousands of hitherto little-known innovators in industries ranging from manufacturing and construction to consumer products to software. The Inc. 5,000 profiles are the result of screening and interviews by dozens of reporters and writers for Inc.com, the website for Inc. magazine. |

These turbocharged enterprises are the pulse of the real economy. They are fast-growth success stories that cross a wide range of sectors from consumer products, financial services and retail to high-tech hotbeds such as software, computers and electronics, and telecom. Microsoft, Timberland, Oracle, The Sharper Image, E*Trade, and Domino’s Pizza are just a few of the corporate superstars that have graced the Inc. 500 list. |
The Inc. 5,000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2003 through 2006. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by the first week of 2003, and therefore able to show four full calendar years of sales. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, and independent--not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies--as of December 31, 2006. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) Revenue in 2003 must have been at least $200,000, and revenue in 2006 must have been at least $2 million |
