Inc. The Handbook of the American Entrepreneur - (Page 3) About the Inc. 5000 Now in its second year, the Inc. 5000 is the most comprehensive portrait of fast-growing private companies assembled anywhere. Each profile is researched and reported by one of the dozens of writers assigned to the project and includes interviews with the CEOs of almost all the companies on the list. Many firms are innovators with little coverage elsewhere; many others are using their cutting-edge savvy to grow their market share in traditional products and services, and are similarly underreported by the rest of the business media.
