INC. magazine revealed that SoftDev is No. 4333 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest growing private companies. SoftDev ranked No. 55 in Baltimore, No. 122 in Maryland, and No. 163 among Government Services companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. 

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, these companies added more than 610,000 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc., which will be available on newsstands 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.”
