Winning a coveted award is an accomplishment for a company of any size. And Inc.’s prestigious 5000 Fastest Growing Companies award is no different. 

To be considered for the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list, businesses must have had a minimum revenue of $100,000 in 2016 and a minimum revenue of $2 million in 2019. Achieving such revenue growth over the course of three years is a testament of the entrepreneurial aptitude these companies embody. This year, 113 Austin-based companies landed a spot on the list. 

Though no companies in Austin were included in the top 10, here are seven that made the top 500.
