SAN
DIEGO, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc.
revealed today that Wildfire Systems, an innovative financial
technology platform that powers reward programs, shopping
companions, and content monetization, ranks No. 80 on the 2024 Inc.
5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in
America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the
most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment
- its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta,
Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many
other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as
honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"We couldn't be more excited to make the top 100 in the Inc.
5000 for two years running," said Jordan
Glazier, CEO, Wildfire Systems. "Our substantial growth and
momentum are testament to the value we bring to our
clients across the financial services and technology sectors.
In turn, our clients deliver value to their customers in
the form of cashback rewards, enabling a better customer
experience and increased loyalty while driving high-converting
visitors to our online merchant partners. At the end of the day, we
could only achieve this level of growth with our
committed team, who is dedicated to helping our partners
achieve success."
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have
driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure,
the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring
challenges. Among this year's top 500 companies, the average median
three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this
year's Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy
over the past three years.
For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company
profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by
industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000.
All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting Tuesday, August 13, and the top 500 appear in the
new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands
beginning Tuesday, August 20.
"One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc.
5000 list," says Mike Hofman, who
recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. "To see all of the
intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming
sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is
fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. 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."
Wildfire's innovative technology platform drove nearly
$600 million in online purchases from
merchants in over 50 countries in 2023. The company's platform
powers reward programs and shopping companions for financial
institutions and technology companies, from early stage startups to
some of the largest companies in the world, including Royal Bank of
Canada (RBC), Microsoft, and
Citi.
Wildfire was named the number one fastest growing small private
company in San Diego county by the
San Diego Business Journal in October
2023. And in February 2024,
TMC awarded Wildfire Systems' Revenue Engine a winner of their 2023
Generative AI Product of the Year Award.

Methodology
Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage

for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other

acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the

used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal
places.
