OptConnect, a leader in the managed wireless connectivity industry, today announced that they have secured a spot on the Inc. 5000 list for the second year in a row. Coming in at number 4147 on the list, OptConnect is one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. according to Inc. Magazine’s annual rankings. OptConnect’s impressive year over year growth fueled a jump in more than 600 spots compared to last year’s rankings.
The annual Inc. 5000 list is 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.
“We’re honored to have made the Inc. 5000 for the second year in a row as it represents all of the dedication and hard work we have put forth as a team,” said Chris Baird, President of OptConnect. “As we continue to look for ways to remove the complexity of connectivity for our customers and expand our product line and value-added fullymanaged services, we are very excited about the future and what lies ahead.”
Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 (which are listed online at Inc.com) 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.
“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.
