PHOENIX, Aug. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freestar, the leading monetization partner for content publishers, e-commerce sites, and app developers, is thrilled to announce its exceptional achievement of being named to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list for the fifth consecutive year.

Its three-year revenue growth rate of 241% allowed the company to remain in the top 2,500 each year after earning the No. 1 ranking in 2019.

They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is$100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings are calculated to four decimal places.
