MD Connect was recently included on Inc’s annual 500/5000 list of America’s fastest growing private companies in 2013. MD Connect ranked #1813 on the list and was also included as one of the top 100 fastest growing companies for Massachusetts and Boston; qualifying for the lists by showing a 211% increase in revenue since 2009.
The Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth over a four-year period. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by the first week of the starting calendar year, and therefore able to show four full calendar years of sales. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31 of the last year measured. MD Connect qualified with a growth of 212%
The list was first created in 1982 to celebrate the fastest growing private companies in America. In its first issue in 1979, Inc. magazine published the Inc. 100 fastest-growing publicly held small companies; in 1982, the list expanded to the Inc. 500, and in 2007, Inc. magazine, in conjunction with Inc.com, released the first Inc. 5000 list.
