Today, Inc. revealed that Blue Signal Search ranks No. 2827 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies, jumping 514 spots ahead of last year.

“I am so proud of our team for making the Inc. 5000 for the fourth time. This is a testament to their hard work and dedication. When I started Blue Signal, I had a vision of creating a company that would make a true difference in the world and change lives for the better. I am grateful to our team for helping make that vision a reality. We are committed to continued growth and innovation, and I am excited to see what the future holds." – Matt Walsh, CEO, Blue Signal Search”

In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”

Methodology
Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
