About the List of Best-Led Companies

Inc. 2021 Best-Led Companies is an exciting 14-point measure of management excellence across the middle market — a select, data-driven list of the very strongest private and public U.S.-based companies with revenue of $50 million to $2 billion or a valuation of $50 million to $10 billion. Mid-market companies are nimble enough to maneuver but also big enough to have a broad impact, and they employ 35 million people, about one of four U.S. workers. Generated with input from our partners at Pitchbook and Shango Labs, our algorithm analyzes these firms and identified the very best according to their leadership teams' superlative accomplishments in four key areas: Performance and Value Creation; Market Penetration and Customer Engagement; Talent; and Leadership Team. This novel program is the first Inc. recognition list to honor public companies as well as private. For more information, please visit https://www.inc.com/best-led-companies.
