Hi, I'm Mike Hofman, the new editor-in-chief of Inc. A month into the job, one of my first duties—and it is a good one—is to begin work on the 2024 Inc. 5000, our storied list of the fast-growing privately held companies in the U.S. Microsoft, Oracle, and Patagonia are alumni of the Inc. 5000, and any given year provides readers and the honored companies alike with a terrific and hard-to-find view of the economy’s biggest success stories. Our editorial team is currently pounding the pavement, identifying great startups to invite to apply to the list. I wanted to personally reach out because we think you may qualify. The application deadline to nominate your company is tonight, Friday, April 26, at 11:59 p.m. PT. If your topline has grown over the past few years, we want to recognize that by including your company on this year’s list. So don't miss your chance to apply before the deadline. If you have any questions at all, just respond to this email and a member of my team will be in touch right away.
