It’s no secret that we LOVE data. We love it more than Kanye West loves Kanye West. So when we got the chance to partner with INC Magazine’s famous 500 list, we were crying tears of joy. Every year, INC puts out a list of the 500 fastest-growing companies in America. This list doesn’t just look at top-line revenue; it also takes into consideration the rate at which a company is growing. Many companies are financially healthy and very good at targeting annual revenue within a dollar of their original projections. The companies on the list, however, are exploding with annual growth rates of 30,000%.

To help put these 500 companies into perspective, we designed and developed (in collaboration with INC) this interactive data visualization. The interactive enables users to walk through a linear story that features key highlights of the dataset. For a more “explore on your own” experience, filters in the left rail let users segment the data set by industry, location, or revenue. Take a look for yourself, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about the project or would like to partner with us.
