Inc. magazine on Aug. 17 unveiled its Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, including 25 from Tarrant County.
Fort Worth’s Eosera is No. 753 on the annual list, and the female-led biotech company was also ranked No. 79 in the industry, No. 55 in the state of Texas, and No. 21 in the DFW area. The company has had a three-year revenue growth of 657%, according to the Inc. report.
“We’re honored to be on the list. It’s a credit to all the hard work Eosera has done since the beginning. Despite the curveballs 2020 threw, we thrived and are excited to be one of the fastest-growing companies,” CEO Elyse Stoltz Dickerson said in a news release.
Eosera has brought to market several innovations in ear care technology, including their most recent products, WAX BLASTER MD PRO, an electric ear cleaning device that rinses the external ear canal with the push of a button, and EAR VIEW MD, an ear camera that captures photos and videos of the ear canal on your smartphone. Eosera was founded in 2015 by Elyse Dickerson and Joe Griffin. Eosera manufactures its products in Fort Worth and the company’s products are available at CVS, Rite Aid, and online at www.eosera.com.
Also on the list from Fort Worth is PlayMakar, ranked No. 228.
PlayMakar develops and distributes FDA-cleared athletic recovery and movement optimization products. Between 2017 and 2020, the company experienced exponential three-year revenue growth of 1,914 percent. This is PlayMakar’s first appearance on the Inc. 5000.
“It’s an honor and a blessing to be ranked No. 228 on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies,” Mike Williams, PlayMakar founder and CEO, said. “Our entire team is sincerely grateful to our customers, vendors, and partners who have contributed to this recognition. We are humbled and will continue working to deliver innovative devices that help athletes of all levels move better, recover faster, and meet their fitness and performance goals.”
PlayMaker operates out of its 15,000 square foot facility in Fort Worth.
For all the companies on this year’s list, the average median three-year growth rate among the 2021 Inc. 5000 soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million, according to Inc. Over the past three years, the companies added a combined total of more than 610,000 jobs to the market.
“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., said. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.”
Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 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.
