Inc. Magazine Unveils Its 37th Annual List of America's Fastest-Growing Companies--the Inc. 5000
iPic® Entertainment Ranks on the 2018 Inc. 5000
NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. magazine today revealed that iPic® Entertainment (NASDAQ: IPIC) is ranked on its 37th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing 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 are honored to receive this distinction and stand among excellence on this prestigious list," said Hamid Hashemi, Founder and CEO of iPic® Entertainment. "It is thanks to the hard work and consistent drive of our team throughout our entertainment and hospitality destinations that ultimately translates into the unique guest experience that has become our signature. When our guests are happy, we are the most successful, and we attribute this recognition to their unwavering support."
Not only have the companies on the 2018 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 15) 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.
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.
"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."
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held October 17 to 19, 2018, at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort, in San Antonio, Texas. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.
