August 20, 2020

ATLAS Space Operations revealed that the company ranks as the 102nd on Inc. Magazine’s annual Inc. 5,000 list, described as the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This marks the first time ATLAS has been selected for this recognition validating the company’s rapid growth and transformative approach to access space-based data with their Freedom™ Software Platform.

The list serves to reveal a look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment — the independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“I am incredibly proud of the significant accomplishments of the ATLAS team over the past five years,” said Sean McDaniel, CEO & Co-Founder of ATLAS Space Operations. “This recognition is a reflection of the hard work and passion of our team. Their tireless efforts are pushing the boundaries of innovation in the communications segment of the space industry.”

The companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 have been very competitive within their markets, ans the list reveals amazing growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent, and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.
