More good news for DefinedCrowd and artificial intelligence! Today, Inc. magazine announced that DefinedCrowd is the 27th fastest-growing private company in the United States, and the fastest-growing private company in Washington State based on an incredible 8550.28% growth in revenue from 2016 to 2019.
This prestigious ranking of America’s most successful independent small businesses once featured companies such as Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft and Patagonia, who gained their first international exposure as honorees of Inc. 5000.

“Since the company was founded in 2015 on an initial investment of $200,000, our growth has been exponential,” said Daniela Braga, DefinedCrowd founder and CEO. “Our fast-growing client base and the rapid expansion of services offered to our existing customers resulted in a staggering 656% growth in revenue, supported by a 176% growth in our global workforce in 2019 alone. To see how far we’ve come in such a short time makes me incredibly proud.”
The 2020 Inc. 5000 list itself reflects incredible growth, compared with previous lists, with a three-year average growth of over 500% and a median rate of 165%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the last three years.
