What the Inc. 5000 Series: Midwest List Measures
The Inc. 5000 Series: Midwest was launched in 2020 as a regional companion to the national Inc. 5000. The list ranks the 250 fastest-growing private companies across 12 Midwest states based on three-year revenue growth.
Companies on the inaugural 2020 list had an average growth rate of 360% and employed more than 27,000 people. Together, they added $13 billion to the Midwest economy in 2018 alone.
The Inc. 5000 methodology is metrics-based, not pay-to-play. Rankings are determined by verified revenue growth over a three-year period. To qualify, companies must have generated at least $100,000 in revenue in the base year and $2 million in the most recent year.
