The latest INC 500 list of fast growing companies is almost ready to be published, and it shows a more diverse group of businesses than we’ve seen on that list in years (i.e., no longer dominated by tech companies). It also shows a remarkably upbeat picture for the economy as seen by these entrepreneurs.
The Public Forum Institute has released a preview in its latest email newsletter. This year shows a real geographic diversity of states and cities that are home to these high growth ventures. What is important to keep in mind is that this is a self-selected group. There are many equally successful ventures that choose, for a variety of reasons, not to apply to this survey.
