Limelight Health Ranks No. 64 on the Inaugural 2020 Inc. 5000 Series: California List

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. magazine revealed that Limelight Health is No. 64 on its inaugural Inc. 5000 Series: California list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing California-based private companies. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the California economy's most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. 

"This win recognizes the tremendous work of our dedicated team to bring new, game-changing solutions to our customers," said Jason T. Andrew, CEO and Co-Founder of Limelight Health. "We understand their challenges and we remain committed to continuing to bring innovative products to market that enable them to better serve their employees and their customers. We truly appreciate this honor." 

The companies on this list show stunning rates of growth across all industries in California. Between 2016 and 2018, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 422 percent and, in 2018 alone, they employed more than 49,000 people and added $5.6 billion to the California economy. Companies based in the largest metro areas—Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and San Diego—brought in the highest revenue overall.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000 Series: California list, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, metro area, and other criteria, can be found at inc.com/inc5000-series-california-2020 starting February 19, 2020.

"The companies on this list demonstrate just how much the small-business sector impacts California's economy," says Inc. editor in chief, Scott Omelianuk. "Across every single industry, these businesses have posted revenue and growth rates that are beyond impressive, further proving the tenacity of their founders and CEOs."

The Inc. 5000 Series: California Summit & Awards event, to honor the companies on the list, will take place on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, at The LINE Los Angeles (3515 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, California 90010).
