  • America's Most Promising Companies #34

    Forbes

    This year’s list of America’s Most Promising Companies has a bevy of new faces, thanks to almost 100 more submissions than we received for 2014. The unexpected influx gave us much to sort through but if there’s one thing we learned as we scoped through the reams of data it’s that each of these firms is doing something right and, in the end, all are winners.

    Methodology
    Companies on the list are all private and generating under $300 million annually. Revenue growth plays a big part in…

    This year’s list of America’s Most Promising Companies has a bevy of new faces, thanks to almost 100 more submissions than we received for 2014. The unexpected influx gave us much to sort through but if there’s one thing we learned as we scoped through the reams of data it’s that each of these firms is doing something right and, in the end, all are winners.

    Methodology
    Companies on the list are all private and generating under $300 million annually. Revenue growth plays a big part in choosing the ranking for America’s Most Promising, but that’s not all we take into account. We pay attention to growth rates, growth in employee numbers, how long companies have been doing what it is they do, operating margins, capital raised, product ideas, management and other factors. Placing one company before another is never easy but one thing you can be sure of is that each firm is going places—be it to an IPO, an eventual acquisition by a much larger player or simply on to greater profits.
