AptAmigo Pursues Success and Propels an Industry into the 21st Century (Despite a Pandemic)
Today, August 17, AptAmigo celebrates as news of our placement on Inc. magazine’s 2021 Inc. 5000 list circulates. Not only did AptAmigo make it onto the list, we also ranked among the top at no. 327 out of 5,000 up-and-coming companies, a huge win!
The annual Inc. 5000 list represents the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. It presents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.
Dan Willenborg, AptAmigo’s co-founder and CEO, responded to the news, saying, “Being featured on the Inc. 5000 list is an exciting achievement for AptAmigo. This recognition validates so much hard work by so many people over the last few years.” He believes “it ultimately signifies that we are on track to become a market leader in the fast growing apartment locating industry and fulfill our mission to be the best place to start and build a career in real estate.”
Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 achieved success within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 jobs over the past three years.
“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.”
As we join the ranks of America’s top private companies, our perseverance and adaptability is changing the future of rental real estate. “AptAmigo’s growth can be attributed to our commitment to a great team and client experience. We will continue to grow by living out our mission every day,” says Willenborg. “This recognition creates an excitement and urgency to expand to serve more teammates and people in more cities.”
