According to the 2023 edition of Inc. 5000, a ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private firms, AtkCo (Atkins Coordination, Inc.) comes in at number 1395. The distinguished ranking offers a quantitative analysis of the most prosperous firms in the most innovative sector of the economy: small and medium-sized enterprises. Many well-known companies, including Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and others, were first recognized nationally thanks to the Inc. 5000.
AtkCo has internalized a constant improvement culture, allowing us to become the best at what we do. Shayna Atkins, the company’s founder and CEO, says, “I am so humbled by this recognition and have ultimate gratitude to my team and support system.”
Companies in the Inc. 5000 class of 2023 have achieved strong revenue growth while facing inflation, increasing capital expenses, and insurmountable recruiting obstacles. The median three-year sales growth rate for this year’s top 500 corporations increased to a mind-boggling 2,238 percent. Over the previous three years, the firms included in this year’s Inc. 5000 have created 1,187,266 new employees.
After the epidemic’s end, “running a business has only gotten harder,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. To have grown quickly enough to be included in the Inc. 5000 is no small feat. Inc. is excited to recognize the firms responsible for shaping our economic future.
