Inc. revealed today that LinkSquares ranks No. 549 on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other household name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“LinkSquares is proud to rank for a third time as an Inc. 5000 company, not just because it validates that we are among the best of the best, but because it is also a celebration of our incredible customer base and our team who supports them daily,” said Vishal Sunak, CEO and co-founder of LinkSquares. “Since our founding days, we mined customer insights and earned customer trust as the legal profession evolved, and today, we are the leading AI-powered legal technology partner of choice. These are the reasons we continue to grow nationally and regionally, placing No. 18 in our competitive homecourt of the Boston area.”
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 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Wednesday, August 23.
“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”
Sunak continued, “Legal teams and organizations need to be more efficient, effective, and faster than ever to keep up with today’s rapidly-changing business environments. We deliver the solutions legal teams need to evolve their roles and keep pace, and this accolade of being No. 549 on the Inc. 5000 list reinforces that we’re headed in the absolute right direction with our customers and team behind us.”

Methodology
Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 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.
