PreScouter Inc. 5000 Listing Shows American Innovation Still Strong

PreScouter Ranks No. 2446 on the 2018 Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest Growing Companies With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 176 Percent

15 August 2018

NEW YORK, NY: Inc. magazine today revealed that PreScouter is No. 2446 on its 37th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“To be an Inc. 5000 honoree is a clear recognition of the benefits that companies are experiencing using PreScouter’s research support services,” said Dino Gane-Palmer, PreScouter CEO. “An ever increasing number of companies are realizing that PreScouter is more cost effective and produces better results than having internal staff distracted doing time consuming information gathering and analysis work.”

Not only have the companies on the 2018 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2018 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 538.2 percent, and a median rate of 171.8 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $206.1 billion in 2017, accounting for 664,095 jobs over the past three years.

“If your company is on the Inc. 5000, it’s unparalleled recognition of your years of hard work and sacrifice,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. “The lines of business may come and go, or come and stay. What doesn’t change is the way entrepreneurs create and accelerate the forces that shape our lives.”
