Inc. magazine today ranked WiredScore No. 320 on its 36th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list is a snapshot of the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— independent small and midsized businesses. Companies including Microsoft, Dell, Pandora, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000. The Inc. 5000 rankings have recognized WiredScore among 17 Real Estate companies leading the sector’s growth in 2017, including Triplemint, The Garret Companies, and S2 Capital.
“We are incredibly pleased to receive this recognition, especially as we gear up to launch operations in Germany and Canada later this fall,” said Arie Barendrecht, CEO and Founder, WiredScore. “Not only are we proud to contribute to the dynamism of the U.S. economy ourselves, we are committed to our mission to lower barriers to digital connectivity within buildings for all other companies, big and small.”
The 2017 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 16) is the most competitive crop in the list’s history.

President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 5000 tell us they think determination, risk taking, and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them.”

Methodology
The 2017 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2013 to 2016. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2013. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2016.
