Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 Regionals: D.C. Metro list employed more than 120,000 people.
Frederick, MD, March 16, 2021 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Orases is No. 193 on its second annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: D.C. Metro list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing Washington, D.C., area-based private companies. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the D.C. area economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.
The companies on this list show stunning rates of growth across all industries in the Washington, D.C., region. Between 2017 and 2019, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 211 percent and, in 2019 alone, they employed more than 120,000 people and added nearly $15 billion to the D.C. area economy. Companies based in major metro areas—Baltimore, Maryland, the Washington, D.C. area, and Richmond, Virginia—brought in the highest revenue overall.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000 Regionals: D.C. Metro, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, metro area, and other criteria, can be found at the Inc. 5000 Regionals list for the D.C. Metro area starting March 16, 2021.
“This list proves the power of companies in the Washington, D.C. area no matter the industry,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “The impressive revenues and growth rates prove the insight and diligence of CEOs and that these businesses are here to stay.”
This latest recognition marks the fourth consecutive year Orases has been listed as one of the fastest-growing private companies by Inc. 5000.
