"It's an amazing honor to be recognized in the top 500 fastest-growing companies by Inc. Magazine," said Mahe Bayireddi, CEO at Phenom People.

(available on newsstands today), is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year average growth of 481 percent. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $206 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 619,500 jobs over the past three years.

"The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive," says Inc. 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."

The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment -- its independent small and midsized businesses.
