In the history of startups, nothing does more to divine good or bad fortune than timing. Last year's No. 1 Inc. 5000 company, OneTrust--which helps businesses comply with new consumer privacy laws--showed what kind of magic can happen when an idea and the need for it glide into the market in total synchronicity.
A rare event such as Covid-19 only underscores how determinative timing can be. Which makes the 2021 Inc. 5000 different from any other in the list's history. Today's fastest-growing privately held American companies proved resilient and flexible during 2020's unprecedented challenges. Among the top 500 companies, the median three-year growth rate soared to 1,819.6 percent, and mean revenue reached $33.4 million. Those companies represent 43,162 jobs.
