NEW YORK, August 13, 2024 – Cogent Analytics, a leading management consulting firm dedicated to serving privately-held businesses nationwide, is proud to announce its ranking at No. 2605 on the 2024 Inc. 5000. With a three-year revenue growth of 196%, this marks the sixth time Cogent Analytics has earned a place on the Inc 5000.The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“It’s an incredible honor for Cogent Analytics to be named once again among the many distinguished companies on Inc. 5000,” said Rob Braiman, Managing Director and founder of Cogent Analytics. “This achievement is a testament to our team, which shares the heart of the Cogent mission and the successful partnerships we have established with thousands of privately held businesses nationwide. Our client’s success is our success, and we are deeply grateful for your trust and support.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting Tuesday, August 13, and the top 500 appear in the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 20.
“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”
Previously ranked No. 4766 in 2023 and as high as No. 233 in 2017, Cogent Analytics also secured the No. 64 spot in the Mid-Atlantic region on this year’s list. Braiman cites adherence to the company’s mission, vision, and values as a major contributor to its culture, which has built trust and fostered strong relationships with clients.
“We’ve broken the traditional consulting mold by focusing on the unique needs of privately held businesses, delivering tailored solutions that empower entrepreneurs to overcome challenges and achieve sustainable profitability. While Cogent Analytics has scaled tremendously over the past decade, our unwavering commitment to serving the American business owner on the core values of honor, courage, wisdom, faith, perseverance, and loyalty remains strong.”

Methodology
Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
