Inc. revealed today that UPSTACK, the rapidly emerging full-service
technology advisory firm, ranks No. 101 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list
of the fastest-growing private companies in America with three-year
revenue growth of more than 3,100 percent.
The prestigious Inc. 5000 ranking provides a data-driven look at
the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic
segment — its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft,
Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia and many
other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as
honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“UPSTACK’s debut among the top tier of the Inc. 5000 is a
tribute to the remarkable success of our formula for transforming
the way digital infrastructure is designed, sourced and supported,”
said UPSTACK Founder & CEO Christopher Trapp. “Business leaders
value our constantly evolving expertise, our understanding of their
technology and business challenges, and the power of our
platform.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have
driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure,
the rising costs of capital and seemingly intractable hiring
challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median
three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. This year’s Inc.
5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past
three years.
“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc.
5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as
editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways
that companies are transforming sectors, from healthcare and AI to
apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and
storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for
growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we
all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to
inflation to changes in the workforce.”
“Amid a time of macro uncertainty in the financial markets,
ongoing supply chain constraints and changes in end-user behavior,
our customers turned to UPSTACK to optimize their digital
infrastructure to create business opportunities and a competitive
advantage,” said Trapp. “In these moments, the rapidly growing
UPSTACK team did what they do best — evolved their capabilities to
tackle a myriad of challenges both big and small — while staying
true to our mission and unwavering commitment to customer
excellence.”
UPSTACK has reached many milestones over the past three years,
proving the value the UPSTACK platform delivers. As of year-end
2023, the point of the Inc. 5000 survey, UPSTACK had grown to more
than 200 employees, more than 6,500 customers, $550 million in
annual technology spending under management and, most proudly,
earned a Customer Net Promoter Score® of 83.
