Copper Named to Inc. Magazine's Annual List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies--the Inc. 5000

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Copper, the leading provider of CRM for G Suite, today announced its ranking as No. 115 on Inc. Magazine's annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment ? its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino's Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

"With the power of Google behind us, Copper is fundamentally changing what it means to be a CRM company. Our software is built directly into G Suite, a productivity tool that users already know and love," said Dennis Fois, CEO of Copper. "This honor from Inc. Magazine is a testament to the path we're taking in the industry and we're excited to continue helping businesses build long-lasting customer relationships."

Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 (which are listed online at Inc.com, with the top-500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands Aug. 20) been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent and median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 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.

Copper is reinventing the CRM industry by building software for people, not process. By removing manual data entry and meeting users in a place where they already work, workflows remain uninterrupted and teams can focus on collaboration. 

"The companies on this year's Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success," said Inc. editor-in-chief James Ledbetter. "There's no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities."

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held October 10 to 12, 2019, at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.
