Inc. Magazine has released the 2018 Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private companies in America.
The list includes 182 companies in the Fort Worth-Arlington-Dallas area and 36 in Tarrant, Wise and Parker counties area.
Among them are TechFW client CompuMatrice No. 3681 on the 2018 Inc. 5000 list, an exclusive ranking of America’s fastest-growing private companies. CompuMatrice also was included in the 2017 Inc. 5000 list at No. 2350.
Companies that made the 2018 list, on average, grew six-fold since 2014; the U.S. economy has grown 11 percent in that time. Companies are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2014-2017.
“We are very proud to get this back-to-back recognition,” said co-founder and CompuMatrice Chairman of the Board Anirban Dutta. “My co-founder, Sandeep Junaghare, and I never envisioned this when we started a two-person software application development firm in 2011 out of the TechFW incubator (http://techfortworth.org/), which grew to a multi-million dollar business with offices in Dallas and Pune, India.
According to Inc. magazine, only one in three companies make the list twice in a row.
“This is your second time on the Inc. 5000, which is truly an extraordinary accomplishment,” wrote James Ledbetter, editor-in-chief of Inc. Media.” Making the list gets harder every year as your starting base grows.”
The past three years, CompuMatrice has invested heavily in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain, working with select startups, small- and mid-size businesses to create enterprise-level, multi-platform apps that utilizes AI and Blockchain.
