Devoted to small businesses and those who run them

I just received an email from Inc. magazine, via Fast Company, with information about an upcoming story they are doing about the fastest growing companies.  They're accepting applications now, so get on over there and see if your company is a match.  A profile in the Inc. 5,000 sure wouldn't hurt business, would it?

Here's the email I received, with all the details:

Hi,

I'm Loren Feldman, the deputy editor of Inc. Magazine, and I wanted to reach out to you about being interviewed for a story we're writing on the fastest growing private companies in America. For 26 years, Inc., the premiere magazine and website in the U.S. for entrepreneurs, has done a special issue called the Inc. 500.

This year, we're expanding the issue to include the 100 fastest growing companies in every metro-area in the country and the 100 fastest growing companies in every industry. The result of our reporting effort will be the new Inc. 5,000 -- including profiles of every company that makes the list.

We'd like to interview you about what's going on at your company and write up a company profile for you, if you are a business that has been growing fast since 2003.

The application is free and takes less than five minutes. Our reporting staff will contact you for an interview if you qualify.

You can expect a blizzard of local and national publicity when the list is released. Last year, more than 25 million readers, radio listeners, and TV viewers nationwide saw or heard stories about Inc. 500 companies. Plus you'll get a great award to show off to your clients and co-workers and will be invited to the Inc. 500 Conference, the nation's most important gathering of entrepreneurs.

Visit www.inc5000.com to learn more. Or you can call us at 212-389-5505 with questions. The deadline is April 15th, so apply today!

Best,

Loren Feldman
