Inc. Magazine names EVS to 2019 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the US for the Fourth Year

Fairfax, VA – August 16th, 2019 – Enhanced Veterans Solutions Inc. (EVS) was named one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. on the 2019 Inc. 5000 List for the fourth consecutive year. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment – its independent small businesses. Companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2014 to 2018. Only 14% of companies are listed for four consecutive years, making this a great achievement for EVS.

“We are honored to be recognized for the fourth consecutive year and to be included amongst the most successful companies in America,” said Mark Whitty, President and CEO of EVS. “This continued growth is attributed to our dedicated team of high-performing professionals and our commitment to the customers that we serve.”

Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.

"The companies on this year's Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success," says Inc. Editor in Chief, James Ledbetter. "There's no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities."

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held Oct. 10-12, 2019, at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.
