Inc. Magazine Reveals Annual List of
America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies—the Inc. 5000
NEW YORK, August 16, 2022 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Surf 9 is No. 1630 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 country's most successful private businesses and is a key benchmark for entrepreneurial success.
"Each time we make this list and even more honored. To be recognized among this elite group of companies even once is a privilege; to make it for the third time is something very special,” said John Chenciner, CEO and Founder, Surf 9. “Our success is rooted in our exceptional staff and our passion and commitment to our retail partners. I am so very grateful for our partnerships and our employees' commitment to Surf 9 and I look forward to the future of our business together. There are so many more new products and experiences to share and more fun to create.”
For four decades, Inc. has celebrated the fastest-growing private companies in America, with companies such as Microsoft, Under Armour, and Patagonia gaining their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 represent a new cohort of fast-growing private businesses, all of which have demonstrated an ability to succeed amid supply chain challenges, labor shortages, and the ongoing impacts related to COVID-19.
"The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated," says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today."
