PLEASANTON, Calif., Aug. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Toolwire (www.toolwire.com) has been listed among the Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list is a comprehensive look at America's next generation of innovators. Over 27 million businesses are registered in the United States and thus eligible for consideration; past honorees have included Microsoft, Timberland, Visa, Intuit, Oracle, and Zappos.com.

"Now, more than ever, we depend on Inc. 500/5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs, and drive the economy forward," stated Jane Berentson, Editor of Inc. Magazine. "Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is."
