Fuel Cycle Appears on the Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies for the 2nd Consecutive Year 

SANTA MONICA, Calif., August 17, 2021 — Inc. magazine today revealed that Fuel Cycle is 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. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. 

“We are honored to receive this recognition for the second year in a row,” said Eran Gilad, CEO of Fuel Cycle. “Our growth is a direct reflection of our company values: customer obsession, teamwork, extreme impact, and endless curiosity. By focusing intently on the needs of research and strategy professionals, we have been able to build and inspire the future of market research and have become the vendor of choice for Fortune 500 companies.” 

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. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc., which will be available on newsstands on August 20th. 

“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “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.”
