The 2009 Inc. 5000, unveiled on Inc.com, serves as a unique
report card on the U.S. economy. Despite the ongoing recession,
aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually
increased to $214 billion, up $29 billion from last year, with a
median three-year growth rate of 126 percent. The Inc. 5000 are

"Savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies
know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about young
companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of
unprecedented business models, as well as older private companies
that are still expanding at an impressive rate," said Inc. 5000
project manager Jim Melloan. "That's why our list is so eagerly
anticipated every year."
Methodology
The Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth
from 2005 through 2008. To qualify, companies must have been
founded and generating revenue by the first week of 2005, and
therefore able to show four full calendar years of sales.
Additionally, they have to be U.S.-based, privately held, for
profit, and independent - not subsidiaries or divisions of other
companies - as of December 31, 2008. Revenue in 2005 must have been
at least $200,000, and revenue in 2008 must have been at least $2
million. The top 10 percent of companies on the list comprise the
Inc. 500, now in its 28th year.
