i80 Group Named an Inc. 5000 2022 Fastest-Growing Company

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--i80 Group (“i80”), a leading investment firm that specializes in partnering with venture-backed and growth-oriented technology companies, today announced that it has been ranked by Inc. magazine as one of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.

i80 Group serves as a strategic investment partner to earlier stage technology companies who face a persistent lack of efficient capital at this point in their lifecycle. The firm provides bespoke credit solutions that are designed to scale with a company’s accelerating growth plans. These solutions enable founders and investors to retain greater ownership and extend the runway to the next financing round, typically leading to substantially higher valuations.

“We are honored to be recognized by Inc. as one of the most entrepreneurial and successful companies in the U.S.,” said Marc Helwani, Founder and Chief Investment Officer at i80 Group. “This ranking underscores our team’s hard work and continued commitment to serving as a strategic capital and business partner to best-in-class technology companies in support of their long-term growth plans. We are looking forward to scaling our platform further in the years to come.”

In 1982, Inc. introduced the Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. Since then, this prestigious list of the nation's most successful private companies has become the hallmark of entrepreneurial success. In 2007, the Inc. 500 list expanded to the Inc. 5000, to capture a broader spectrum of success. The Inc. 5000 ranks companies by overall revenue growth over a three-year period.
