Inc. Magazine recognizes usastrong.IO with Best in Business Award for 2021

NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- usastrong.IO has been named to the Inc. 2021 Best in Business list in the Lean and Mean category: Under $5MM in gross revenue. Inc.'s Best in Business Awards honor companies that have gone above and beyond to make a positive social impact.

The list, which can be found in the Winter issue of Inc. magazine (on newsstands December 14), recognizes small- and medium-size privately held American businesses that have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.

"Pioneering a new business model during a pandemic to verify USA Made Manufacturing and Products comes down to the community support and the folks who make up everything we list." said Founder and CEO Krissy Mashinsky. "Our success of the Strong Blockchain™ verification this past year is based solely on the spirit and drive of the local people who love USA made businesses. We are honored to accept this recognition from Inc. as a testament to the consumer's passion to support small to mid- size business owners within their communities and rebuild trust on where products are made."  

Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., says, "What began for us during the pandemic as an effort to showcase companies that were helping the community has grown into a recognition of social, environmental, and economic impact. The companies on this year's list are changemakers with heart — and they're pouring the best of their business into the people and communities around them."

Rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.'s editors reviewed the companies' achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world. They then selected honorees in more than 49 different industries — from finance to software to engineering to fashion, and more — and in age-based and revenue-based categories. The applicant pool was extremely competitive, with around 2,700 entries and an acceptance rate in the low single digits — a huge success for these honors in the list's second year. Honorees for gold, silver, bronze, and general excellence across industries and categories are featured online at inc.com/best-in-business.
