💡 Pro tip: While revenue information is required as part of the application, it will remain confidential (i.e. won’t be published)—also, for this list, revenue is not the deciding factor for inclusion on this list (you can even be pre-revenue to apply) but rather Inc. is looking for signs of outsized traction and markers for key milestones in a variety of areas.
🧜🏾♀️ Stand out: Inc. is really interested in “good stories” and will prioritize this in their selection process. They are encouraging you to be vulnerable and real about what was difficult this past year. How can your experience be a teachable moment for others?
