Inc. 5000 list features 138 Maryland companies
Two Maryland companies on Wednesday were the latest to be named to the annual Inc. 5000 list, a ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.
Towson-based PM Consulting Group (PMCG) was ranked No. 125 on the list with a growth rate of 3,213%, and Leap, an all-in-one home improvement digital sales platform startup in Columbia, came in at No. 637.
A total of 138 companies in Maryland are on the list, including three of the top 46 firms. Baltimore-based Chasen Companies, which acquires and manages luxury real estate properties in greater Baltimore and Washington, is No. 18, followed by Columbia IT management company Global Alliant (No. 34) and Rockville’s Behavioral Framework (No. 46).
PM Consulting, which has a growth rate of 3,213%, has made the list the past three years.
Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2017 to 2020. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2017. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies — as of Dec. 31, 2020. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.)
The minimum revenue required for 2017 is $100,000; the minimum for 2020 is $2 million. Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to three decimal places. There was one tie on this year’s Inc. 5000.
