NEW YORK, August 15, 2023- Inc. revealed today that DragonSpears ranks No. 2,286 on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other household name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“Making it to the Inc. 5000 for the third year in a row, at number 2286, isn't about numbers or titles. It's a reflection of the genuine relationships we've built with our clients, partners, and teammates. Their trust and dedication make all the difference, and I'm deeply grateful to be on this journey alongside them,” says Patrick Emmons, Founder CEO of DragonSpears.
The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
