NEW YORK, August 20, 2019 – Inc. magazine has revealed that San Diego-based Tricopian, Inc. is No. 178 on its annual Inc. 500 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000/500.
“It’s a great honor to be recognized for earning a spot on the 2019 Inc. 500 list,” said Chi Yau, co-founder of Tricopian, Inc. “This recognition is a testament to the many benefits that our FuelRod mobile device charging service offers users at airports, theme parks, convention centers and other high traffic venues who need to keep their smartphones and tablets charged on the go. The success of our FuelRod mobile charging service couldn’t be achieved without all the hard work and dedication of our staff and our loyal customers.”
Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000/500 (which are listed online at Inc.com, with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands August 20) been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000/500, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. “The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter.
“There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.” The annual Inc. 5000/500 event honoring the companies on the list will be held October 10 to 12, 2019, at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.
