For the 3rd year in a row, PeerSource Appears on the Inc. 5000,Ranking No. 2337 With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 172% Percent

NEW YORK, August 14, 2019 – Inc. magazine today revealed that PeerSource is No. 2337 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, 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.

John Snellings, CEO of PeerSource, writes:“I hope that the Inc. 5000 inspires someone out there to realize that success is as much about activity as it is about aptitude. Leaders come in all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. Many of us lack that degree, funding, experience, or key “something” and end up chasing it anyway. My advice is to surround yourself with the best people you can find and work your asses off in pursuit of your goal. For PeerSource, being a part of the Inc. 5000 for the 3rd year in a row is a testament to our team pursuit of excellence and all about our people. Thank you all for your hard work, attitude and expertise as well as with putting up with me. I’m so proud of you guys!”

Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 (which are listed online at Inc.com, with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands August 20) been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 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 companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held October 10 to 12, 2019, at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.
