Inc. 5000 2019 Announced: Element78 Ranks No. 355 Among America's Fastest Growing Private Companies


CHICAGO, August 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Element78, a private equity focused advisory firm, today revealed its inclusion and rank of No. 355 on Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. Since the first Inc. 5000 list was released in 1982, it has become the standard of entrepreneurial success, recognizing the nation's most important business sector: its independent small businesses. Element78 shares this honor with many notable alumni including Microsoft, Dell, Yelp, Zappos, Pandora, and LinkedIn.

Inclusion on Inc. 5000's 2019 list is based on percentage revenue growth when comparing 2015 and 2018. As one of the youngest businesses on the list, Element78 was founded in Chicago in 2015, and reported more than 1,200 percent growth in its first four years ? compared to an average growth of 454 percent among all businesses included on Inc. 5000's 2019 list.

"The growth for us, over this timeframe, has been attributed to our ability to provide great value to our clients," says Element78 Managing Partner John Signa. "Obviously, we couldn't have experienced this type of growth without our clients. We're so grateful for the opportunities they've provided, and want to thank them for our growing success."

With offices in both Chicago and Seattle, Element78's growth continues this fall as the company opens an office in Baltimore on Sept. 1, and a satellite location in St. Louis. In 2020, Element78 plans to open offices in Dallas and New York. The company currently works with more than 15 general partners and 50 private equity funds, and serves dozens of portfolio companies.

"About a year in, we narrowed our scope and really homed in on what we were good at: identifying the pain points of our clients, which we understood better than anybody else," says Signa. "We're now more focused on our strengths, and we're finding a way for that message to resonate with our clients, and deliver on those capabilities."

Element78's ranking of No. 355 means that it's among the elite Inc. 500 ? representing the top tier of the Inc. 5000 ? which will be featured in the magazine's September issue. 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 http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
