Loudoun Lands 28 on Inc. 5000 List, Including D.C. Region’s Fastest-Growing

Twenty-eight of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S. call Loudoun County home, according to the 2020 Inc. 5000 list, published this week. The rankings are determined based on percentage revenue growth for privately-owned applicant businesses over the previous three years.

Gravy Analytics (No. 93) was not only the fastest-growing Loudoun company but also the fastest-growing business in the Washington, D.C., region, with 3,623% growth. Gravy Analytics is a true #LoudounPossible success story after being founded in Dulles by CEO Jeff White in 2011.

“It’s an honor to be included on this year’s Inc. 5000 list,” White said. “We’ve seen phenomenal growth, and powering that growth is some of the country’s best talent. We have prestigious universities nearby, leading research centers, and corporations that truly value innovation.

“Loudoun County is an ideal place to start and grow a tech company. It’s a great place to live and work.”

In addition to Gravy Analytics, three other Loudoun companies ranked in the D.C. region’s top 10, and six other Loudoun companies made the exclusive Inc. 500 list:

• Lateetud (No. 155);
• Capital Telecom Services (No. 189);
• Core One Solutions (No. 216);
• The Building People (No. 318);
• Pathfinder Consultants (No. 408);
• Teksky (No. 455).

“Following a challenging economic start to 2020, Loudoun’s prominence on the Inc. 5000 list should inspire confidence in our recovery and bright future,” Loudoun Economic Development Executive Director Buddy Rizer explained. “We look to our rapid-growth businesses to be leaders as we continue to get our economy back on track and the labor force back to work.”

In total, 11 of Loudoun’s 28 businesses were named to the Inc. 5000 list for the first time, representing a new class of businesses on the rise. Those companies hailed from all corners of Loudoun County and represent diverse industries from software and IT system development to construction, human resources to government services.

At the other end of the spectrum, Lowers Risk Group (No. 3,705) and WheelsOnSite USA (No. 4,351) each made the list for a seventh time, providing models for sustained growth in Loudoun County.

“Many of these companies are home-grown success stories, leveraging a wide array of business resources in our county,” Rizer said. “Being named to the Inc. 5000 list is a huge accomplishment, and we look forward to working with each of these businesses to achieve continual #LoudounPossible growth.”
