For the 2nd Time, Fairmarkit Makes the Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

Leave a comment


The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”

More about Inc. and the Inc. 5000

Methodology

Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.

National University Proud Sponsor of The Rosie Network Supporting Military-Affiliated Businesses

Leave a comment


As a top 10% Military Friendly and Yellow Ribbon School, NU takes pride in sponsoring Rosie’s List because it closely aligns with the university’s empowerment of military-community entrepreneurs. This partnership encompasses the support of spouses, veterans, and transitioning servicemembers across all military branches nationwide.

Today’s military and Veteran learners are simultaneously balancing education and work, education and parenting, and education and deployment. NU’s innovative approach is centered around supporting the whole student, which includes financial, academic, emotional well-being, career, and family support.

“Partnering with the Rosie Network and sponsoring Rosie’s List enables us to further extend our support to the whole student,” expressed Meg O’Grady, National University’s senior vice president of military and government affairs. “While it’s important to provide students with credential-rich pathways, it’s just as critical to support those who are forging meaningful careers as entrepreneurs.”

The military community encompasses individuals from diverse backgrounds who are universally recognized for their entrepreneurial skills, leadership qualities, and resilience as business owners.

NU Military and Veteran Partnerships Manager and military spouse Danielle Maloy understands firsthand the immense contributions and strong work ethic found in members of the military community.

“NU is excited to collaborate with the Rosie Network and spread the word about Rosie’s List to expand and fortify our nationwide network of doers,” Maloy said. “This partnership directly benefits and positively impacts many programs and services that reflect NU’s commitment to lowering barriers and creating opportunities for military families through education and entrepreneurship.”

About National University: National University, a veteran-founded nonprofit, has been dedicated to meeting the needs of hard-working adults by providing accessible, affordable higher education opportunities since 1971. As one of the nation’s largest private nonprofit universities, NU offers over 190+ online and on-campus programs and flexible four-week and eight-week classes designed to help students reach their goals while balancing busy lives. Since its founding, the NU community has grown to 40,000 students and 220,000 alumni around the globe, many of whom serve in helping industries such as business, education, health care, cybersecurity, and law and criminal justice. To learn more about National University’s new possibilities in education including next-generation education, credential-rich education, and whole human education, visit NU.edu.

About The Rosie Network: The Rosie Network is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote military family-owned businesses to the public. U.S. Navy SEAL entrepreneurial spouses founded The Rosie Network in 2012 to address the high unemployment rates of military spouses and transitioning veterans with the goal of strengthening today’s families through entrepreneurship. Patterned after Angie’s List and with the “We Can Do It” spirit of the iconic World War II Rosie the Riveter, the Rosie Network connects more than 6,000 military family entrepreneurs with customers seeking their products and services.

Descript Acquires SquadCast, Creating a One-Stop-Shop for Recording, Editing and Publishing Podcasts and Videos

Leave a comment


Professional-grade remote recording solution free as part of Descript

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Descript, the simple, powerful video and audio editor, announced the acquisition of remote recording studio SquadCast. As of today, the professional-grade remote recording solution is free as part of Descript. Podcasters and video creators now have a single tool for their entire production workflow, from recording to publishing.

“Remote recording has become an essential part of the podcaster’s workflow. And so far, podcasters have been forced to choose between something like Zoom that records at lower quality and is subject to internet glitches, or a pricey subscription to a dedicated remote recording service,” said Andrew Mason, CEO of Descript. “With our acquisition of SquadCast, podcasters have a battle-tested professional grade remote recording studio integrated right into their editor, for no additional cost.”

“Descript is the best way to make videos and podcasts. Together our users have the most powerful and most affordable tool to do what they love all in one place,” said Rock Felder, Co-Founder and CFO of SquadCast.

Descript + SquadCast = Complete Stack
Remote recording is a staple in every podcaster’s tool stack. Now, creators can record audio and video podcasts from anywhere and when they’re finished, their recordings will be automatically transcribed and ready for editing in Descript.

From there, Descript’s powerful AI-fueled editing features take over. AI voices, Studio Sound, transcription, automatic filler word removal, Regenerate, Eye Contact – Descript’s adaptability allows any creator, in any type of workflow, to create anything from an audio podcast to a sophisticated multicam video with multiple layers of video, b-roll, audio, with video and audio effects, and transitions.

“As long-time users of both Descript and SquadCast, this is going to be game-changing for our team,” said Pat Flynn, host of the Smart Passive Income podcast. “These two world-class tools coming together will streamline recording with our guests, improve the listening experience for our audience, and save us countless hours of production time behind the scenes.”

Descript customers will get remote recording included immediately in their subscriptions for free. SquadCast customers can choose to switch their subscription to Descript to get its editing capabilities at no additional cost.

ClarisHealth Makes the Inc. 5000 List for the 4th Year in a Row

Leave a comment


ClarisHealth ranks #3548 on the 2023 Inc. 5000 list with three-year revenue growth of 139-percent. ClarisHealth credits its ranking for the fourth year in a row to aggressive adoption of its technology platform Pareo® by health plans focused on digital transformation of their payment integrity operations.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. and NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Today, Inc. revealed that ClarisHealth ranks No. 3548 on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This year marks the fourth year in a row that ClarisHealth has ranked on this prestigious list. ClarisHealth credits this continuous growth to aggressive adoption of its technology platform Pareo® by health plans focused on digital transformation of their payment integrity operations.

“In an era of increasing healthcare costs, paying claims right the first time is of strategic importance to health plans,” says ClarisHealth CEO Jeff McNeese. “We are proud to empower payment integrity innovators who are looking for a better way to achieve this goal. And we are grateful to our incredible team for their commitment to transforming healthcare payment accuracy with technology.”

The ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and persistent hiring challenges.

“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”

Health plans that implement Pareo accelerate improvements in healthcare claims payment accuracy. An analysis revealed Pareo clients recover overpayments 50-percent faster, increase recoveries 31-percent, and increase identifications 21-percent after the first year of platform adoption. Today, more than 20 health plans representing over 70M members utilize Pareo as their industry-standard operating system powering enterprise payment integrity.

This ranking is the latest recognition of ClarisHealth’s hypergrowth. In 2022, it ranked on the Inc. 5000 for the third year and on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 for the second year in a row. Its enterprise technology platform Pareo has been included as a sample vendor for prospective payment integrity by the Gartner Hype Cycle for U.S. Payers for three years running.

For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 23.
