MAQ Software has accomplished the rare achievement of ranking on the Inc. 5000 list for the 8th time. Less than 2% of Inc. 5000 companies demonstrate sustained growth by appearing 8 or more times. The highly prestigious list has tracked the nation's fastest-growing private companies for 35 years.
The list serves as
evidence of significant accomplishments by America’s most successful
independent businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora,
Intuit, LinkedIn, Yelp, and many others gained their first national exposure as
Inc. 5000 honorees.
“We thank our customers
for trusting us with their most demanding software initiatives that are
transforming their industries. Our customers choose us because we accelerate
their software projects through our unique techniques and processes,” says MAQ
Software Founder and Managing Consultant Rajeev Agarwal. “I am proud of our
team members’ expertise and their relentless focus on adopting the latest
technologies quickly.”
In the past 10 years,
from more than 23 million businesses in the United States only 21,920 companies
made it onto to the Inc. 5000. Just six other companies from Washington state
have made it onto the list eight or more times.
The sustained growth
list gets shorter every year. Less than 60% of listed companies reappear on the
Inc. 5000, as the table below indicates. Some companies stop growing, a few are
acquired, and a few go public.

“The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it
really counts,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It
honors real achievement by founders and their teams. No one makes the Inc. 5000
without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the
hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without
it, free enterprise fails.”. Read more.
