Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 Regionals: D.C. Metro list employed more than 120,000 people.

Inc. magazine today revealed that Mindgrub is No. 203 on its second annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: D.C. Metro list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing Washington, D.C. area-based private companies. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the D.C. area economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.

“I can’t express how stoked I am that Mindgrub has made the list,” says Mindgrub CEO Todd Marks. “Our team works extremely hard to keep our company at the top in our industry. Since becoming a fully distributed company, we’ve come up with some really innovative ways to not only maintain, but improve the quality of our work as we expand our footprint in the Washington D.C./ Northern Virginia market.”

The companies on this list show stunning rates of growth across all industries in the Washington, D.C., region. Between 2017 and 2019, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 211 percent and, in 2019 alone, they employed more than 120,000 people and added nearly $15 billion to the D.C. area economy. Companies based in major metro areas—Baltimore, Maryland, the Washington, D.C. area, and Richmond, Virginia—brought in the highest revenue overall.

“This list proves the power of companies in the Washington, D.C. area no matter the industry,” says Inc. editor in chief Scott Omelianuk. “The impressive revenues and growth rates prove the insight and diligence of CEOs and that these businesses are here to stay.”

Mindgrub was first named to the Inc. 5000 in 2013, appearing at #520, and has made the list every year since. For more information about Mindgrub or to join their growing team, visit mindgrub.com/careers.
