We’ve assembled an all-star team that is poised to launch the company into new business opportunities. We expect to be among the fastest growing companies in the region and nationally for the foreseeable future.”
The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Mid-Atlantic region. Between 2019 and 2021, these 142 private companies had an average growth rate of 381 percent and, in 2021 alone, they added 14,439 jobs and $2.66 billion to the Mid-Atlantic region’s economy. Companies based in the Richmond, Virginia and the Washington, D.C. areas had the highest growth rates overall.

“This year’s Inc. 5000 Regional winners represent one of the most exceptional and exciting lists of America’s off-the-charts growth companies. They’re disrupters and job creators, and all delivered an outsize impact on the economy. Remember their names and follow their lead. These are the companies you’ll be hearing about for years to come,” said Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief ofInc. magazine.
Think was recognized as one of the 5,000 fastest growing private companies in the U.S. by Inc. Magazine 2021 and 2022. The 2023 list will be released in August.
Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, the company continues its east coast expansion and opened an office in 2020 in Boca Raton, Florida.
