Narrative Ranks #11 on Inc. Magazine’s List of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the New York City Metro Region

Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 Regionals: NYC Metro list had an average growth rate of more than 200 percent 

New York, NY, March 16, 2021 – In recognition of its recent stellar revenue growth and increased demand for its offerings, Narrative, the data streaming platform that makes it easy to buy, sell and win, today announced that the company was ranked number 11 on the annual Inc. 5000 Regionals list of the fastest-growing private companies in the New York City Metro area.

“It is an honor to be named to Inc.’s prestigious list of the most successful companies within the tri-state area,” said Nick Jordan, founder and chief executive officer of Narrative. “Data is the life force of today’s most progressive and innovative organizations, and our mission is to build upon our tremendous success in reimagining, redefining, and transforming how data is streamed, utilized, and monetized by organizations around the world.”

Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the regional economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small and growing businesses. The companies on this list, including Narrative, show stunning rates of growth across all industries in the New York City area. Between 2017 and 2019, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 214 percent and in 2019 alone, they employed more than 48,000 people and added nearly $9 billion to the NYC Metro area economy. Companies based in Stamford, Connecticut, New York City, and central New Jersey brought in the highest revenue overall.

“This list proves the power of companies in the New York City area no matter the industry,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “The impressive revenues and growth rates prove the insight and diligence of CEOs and that these businesses are here to stay.”
