Chicago, Illinois Mar 26, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Inc. magazine today revealed that Inspire11 is No. 2 on its inaugural Inc. 5000 Series: Midwest list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Midwest economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.
“We are so grateful and humbled to have Inspire11 be recognized by Inc. Magazine,” Says Alban Mehmeti, Inspire11 Co-Founder and CEO. “I am beyond proud of our Inspire11 family, without whose hard work and dedication this would not be possible. Thank you to all our Elevens, our clients, and our community for joining us on this incredible journey!”
The companies on this list show stunning rates of growth across all industries in the 12 Midwest states. Between 2016 and 2018, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 360 percent and, in 2018 alone, they employed more than 27,000 people and added $13 billion to the Midwest’s economy. Companies based in the Chicago, Detroit, and Cincinnati areas brought in the highest revenue overall.

To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016.
