eVestment Marks 11 Years on Inc. 500 / 5000 Lists

8/16/17

Inc. magazine today ranked eVestment, the global leader in institutional data and analytics, on its 36th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. This is the 11th consecutive year eVestment has appeared on an Inc. Magazine list: one year on the Inc. 500 list and 10 years on the Inc. 5000.

The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.

“eVestment was founded 17 years ago, and for two-thirds of our existence we’ve been recognized by Inc. Magazine for our fast growth,” said eVestment Co-Founder and CEO Jim Minnick. “That’s a rare accomplishment. I attribute that growth to our constant focus on listening to our clients and exceeding their expectations and to the talented people here at eVestment who turn that client feedback and our own innovative ideas into user-friendly, high-value solutions.”

The 2017 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 16) is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year average growth of 481%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $206 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 619,500 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

"The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 5000 tell us they think determination, risk taking and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them.”

Over the past year, eVestment has innovated in a variety of areas that have supported the company’s continued growth. The company launched new real estate investment and private markets data collection and analysis capabilities, launched an iPhone app that made taking, using and sharing eVestment’s data anywhere easier and launched its Sales Dashboard solution, which opened up a new user group for the company: sales executives looking for streamlined data quickly and on the go. The company also grew its revenue and user base through the acquisition of Public Plan IQ, the largest source of information and documents pertaining to U.S. public pensions in the country.
