With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 141% Percent, Gather Receives Ranking No. 3628 Among America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies
NEW YORK, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Inc. Magazine revealed that Gather is No. 3628 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"Over the past two years in particular, Gather pivoted to a people-first strategy, and we're continuing to double down on it," states Justin Tobin, president and founder of Gather. "Human is the only capital we have. Rather than setting a specific growth or revenue goal, the bigger goal, of which topline growth is an outcome, is the growth of our community of really incredible independent practitioners, because we know that our people are the secret to our success."
The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 list have not only demonstrated their success, but have also shown resilience amid labor shortages, supply chain woes, and the ongoing impact of Covid-19. "The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated," says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today."
"The contemporary nature of how Gather is servicing the great resignation and the skill-based economy has always been lightyears ahead of the competition," comments David Gaspar, head of innovation at Gather. "It's an environment that's not viewed by its people as a last resort, but the preferred option. As a result, Gather is able to put the best people on every project they service for clients, and Gatherers have a keen sense of agency they can't find anywhere else. This has been key to our success."
While it was founded more than ten years ago, Gather was in many ways built for the current moment, as more and more professionals realize the benefits that come with independent work. Founded on the principle that one can operate "independent but not alone," a growing number of highly skilled professionals are finding their way to Gather, where they can opt into its culture of collaborative but independent work. People want the freedom to choose the work they engage in and to enjoy the benefits of being independent, while reducing the risk that typically comes with it. As a result, the number of people joining Gather has outpaced their top-line growth.
Gather is in the business of forming teams around client problems by tapping into its network of highly skilled independent practitioners, doers, thinkers, creators, and executives, to build highly capable teams that become an integral extension of its clients' organizations. Gather works with companies including IBM, MetLife, TD Ameritrade, AMD, Bloomberg and more, focusing on impact and velocity of work to drive real measurable results and lasting business transformation.

Methodology
Companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2018 to 2021. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2018. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2021. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2018 is $100,000; the minimum for 2021 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places. The top 500 companies on the Inc. 5000 are featured in Inc. magazine's September issue. The entire Inc. 5000 can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
