It’s my favorite time of year, no not the dog days of summer, its the publication of the latest Inc 5000 list (the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the United States ranked by ranked by 3-year top-line growth). I’ve made it through the first 500 and identified 21 (4% of the total) that could be considered fintech under a fairly broad definition of that term. I’m a little surprised there are not more, but this is a list of self-reported revenue growth, not VC funding, valuation or any longer-term metric. Also, it doesn’t include companies that prefer not to share their metrics (e.g. Stripe, Credit Karma, etc).
