FE International Named to Inc. 5000 List of Fastest Growing Companies in America

Mid-market M&A leader recognized for fifth consecutive year


NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FE International Inc., the global market leader in mid-market technology mergers and acquisitions (M&A), announced today it has been honored on the 2023 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America. The prestigious annual rankings provide a data-driven look at the most successful independent, entrepreneurial businesses spanning industries. Today’s leading global brands such as Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft and Patagonia first gained national exposure in part of their early selection as honorees by Inc.

In addition to its overall ranking in the top 2500, FE International was also recognized among leaders of specific industry and regional categories, including Financial Services (149) and leading New York-based companies (181). This is the fifth consecutive year FE International has made the list; an accomplishment achieved by less than 15 companies.

“FE International continues to experience exponential growth. Investors and acquirers are still hunting for solid businesses to invest in, and with thousands of deals completed in the last decade, we are proud to be honored for our work providing safe, secure, and successful acquisitions for technology business owners and investors alike,” said Thomas Smale, FE International Founder and CEO.

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 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 5000 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2238%. This year’s Inc. 5000 companies have also added more than 1.1 million jobs collectively to the economy over the past three years.

“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic. To make the Inc. 5000 with the fast growth that is required is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future,” said Scott Omelianuk, Inc. Editor-in-Chief.

The complete Inc. 5000 list is available at www.inc.com/inc5000. FE International will be among the companies featured in the September issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 23.
