Leading Cyber Security and Risk Consulting Firm Specializing in IAM and GRC Experiences Three-Year Sales Growth of 379% Y/Y
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 22, 2016 – Inc. magazine today ranked Edgile, a leading security and risk consulting services firm, No. 1041 on its 35th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the most dynamic segment of the US economy: independent small businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.
“We’re thrilled to be included on the Inc. 5000,” said Don Elledge, Edgile CEO. “Edgile’s incredible growth is a direct measure of our customers’ leadership in cyber security and our talented and hardworking team who earn our customers’ loyalty and trust.”
The 2016 Inc. 5000 rankings, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. is the most competitive in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a three-year growth of 433%. With aggregate revenues of $200 billion, the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the economy during that period. The complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
“The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.”
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 18 through 20, in San Antonio, TX. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as best-selling author and strategist Tony Robbins, SoulCycle co-founders Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice, Cornerstone OnDemand founder, president and CEO Adam Miller, Marvell Technology Group director and co-founder Weili Dai, and New Belgium Brewing co-founder and executive chair Kim Jordan.

Methodology
The 2016 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2012 to 2015. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2012. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2015. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2012 is $100,000; the minimum for 2015 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
