Bullpen Strategy Group Named To Inc. 5000 List Of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies List For Second Consecutive Year

August 13, 2024 | Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. – For the second year in a row, Inc. Magazine recognized Bullpen Strategy Group (BSG) on its annual Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This year, BSG moved up nearly 1,500 spots, rising to number 2,274 on Inc.’s 2024 list. Founded just five years ago, BSG has experienced dynamic growth, and now has more than 60 team members across three offices in Washington, DC, Dallas, and London.

“Making the Inc. 5000 for the second straight year is a testament to our team’s continued growth as well as the great confidence our clients place in us every day to deliver results,” said BSG CEO Joe Pounder. “As BSG approaches its five-year anniversary this September, we’re excited to build on this achievement as we make major investments in data, add top talent to our roster, and broaden our services to help our clients achieve their objectives.”

Earlier this year, BSG marked the one-year anniversary of two subsidiaries: Look Ahead Strategies, a specialized, full-service communications and research firm serving political, policy, and issue advocacy clients, and Kyber Research, which is dedicated to assisting clients with requesting and retrieving public records from across the United States and the world.

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, Inc.’s editor-in-chief. “Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, are available at www.inc.com/inc5000.

Methodology 

Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
