Press Releases

Today Iasta announced that it has moved up 208 slots to No. 967 on Today Inc. magazine's 2009 Inc. 5000. It's the third consecutive year that Iasta has appeared on the list. The list represents the most comprehensive look at an important segment of the economy—America's independent-minded entrepreneurs.

"We're honored to be recognized for our growth rate. With a three-year growth rate of over 316%, Iasta is positioned to continue expanding products and services in the SRM market." says David Bush, Iasta CEO.

"Savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well as older private companies that are still expanding at an impressive rate," said Inc. 5000 project manager Jim Melloan. "That's why our list is so eagerly anticipated every year."

The 2009 Inc. 5000 serves as a unique report card on the U.S. economy. Despite the ongoing recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $214 billion, up $29 billion from last year, with a median three-year growth rate of 126 percent. The Inc. 5000 are responsible for creating more than 1 million jobs since their founding, making the list perhaps the best example of the impact private, fast-growing companies can have on the economy. 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 on Inc.com.
