MADISON, WI, August 14, 2019 – Inc. magazine today revealed that SwanLeap is No. 35 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“To be named for a third time among America’s greatest entrepreneurs is an unspeakable honor,” shared SwanLeap CEO and Co-Founder Brad Hollister, “Finding ourselves at the number one spot for 2018 brought a lot of validation to our team’s hard work; continuing on the list for a third year speaks to the maturity and long term offering that SwanLeap brings to the world of supply chain.”

SwanLeap debuted on the Inc. 5000 in 2017 at the #55 spot and followed that up by taking top honors in the #1 spot for 2018. Leading the scene for innovation in what has become known as “Silicon Prairie”, SwanLeap is shining a light on what is possible through technology in the Midwest. Headquartered in Madison, WI, SwanLeap solves complex supply chain problems with technology.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held October 10 to 12, 2019, at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.
