OptConnect, a longtime leader in fully managed wireless services, today announced that it has made the 2022 Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.
Coming in at number 2499, OptConnect’s impressive year over year growth makes this the company’s sixth consecutive national recognition in addition to being recognized one of the 50 fastest-growing companies in Utah by Utah Business Magazine.
“Receiving the Inc. 5000 award for the sixth consecutive year is a testament to the dedication and innovation of the entire OptConnect team,” said Chris Baird, CEO of OptConnect. “Our unwavering commitment to delivering reliable and secure wireless connectivity solutions has not only propelled our company’s growth but has also empowered our customers to thrive in an increasingly connected world. This achievement underscores our mission to provide cutting-edge IoT solutions and fuels our drive to continue pushing boundaries in the industry.”
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.
“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-inchief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”
