Inc. 5000 2019 - Stoneridge Software

Ranking No. 2,810 With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 134 Percent

Inc. magazine has ranked Stoneridge Software 2,810 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. This is Stoneridge Software's third appearance on the list. In the history of the Inc. 5000, only one in eight companies has made the list three times.

“It's never been about being the biggest, but the best partner for our clients. Our growth is a testament to our team – when our clients get to work with our consultants, they want more time with them and they tell others about the great work we do, which drives more demand for our services,” says CEO Eric Newell. "Our focus remains on streamlining software implementations through our client-centric process and partnering to achieve business goals."

Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 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.

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.

“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.”

Stoneridge Software ranked 3,661 in 2018 with a growth rate of 101 percent and 1,150 in 2017 with a growth rate of 365 percent.
