Accelerated Brands Ranks No. 482 on the 2023 Inc. 5000

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Inc. revealed last month that Accelerated Brands ranks No. 482 on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other household name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“We are incredibly proud and humbled to be recognized on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list for the 3rd time said CEO and Founder, Justin Strickland. This achievement is a testament to the unwavering dedication and innovation of our team at Accelerated Brands. As we accelerate into the future, we remain committed to driving excellence, pioneering technology, and delivering vehicles that redefine the automotive industry.”

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 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 ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
