Wovenware Named to Inc. Magazine's Inc. 5000 Annual Ranking of Fastest Growing Private U.S. Companies for the Third Year

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO--(Marketwired - August 17, 2017) - Wovenware, a nearshore provider of smart software solutions, today announced that for a third year it has been named to the Inc. 5000, the annual list of America's fastest-growing private companies, published by Inc. Magazine. It is among a select group of companies -- only one in five -- that have received this recognition three times.

"We're honored to once again be included in the Inc. 5000," said Christian Gonzalez, CEO and co-founder, Wovenware. "The growing demand for AI-based solutions for companies of all types and sizes, and the benefits of using nearshoring software engineering services to meet this demand, is a key driver behind our growth. We are helping U.S. companies develop some of the most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, such as chatbots, machine learning apps and image recognition, as well as legacy modernization projects, more quickly, strategically and cost effectively -- and much closer to home."

Receiving a ranking of 3566 among 5000 private companies, Wovenware was judged based on Inc. Magazine's criteria for percentage revenue growth when comparing 2013 to 2016. During that timeframe, the company grew by 86 percent. Wovenware's growth during this time period is attributed in part to the addition of key customers in industries such as healthcare, government and financial services; as well as its specialized expertise in delivering services and solutions based on high-growth technologies, such as AI-based machine learning algorithms.

Additionally, as a nearshore software engineering services provider in Puerto Rico, Wovenware offers key benefits to U.S. businesses including proximity, same language and time zones, as well as adherence to the same currency and regulations, at costs far below those of nearshore providers in the U.S. states.

About the Inc. 5000

"The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive," said Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 5000 tell us they think determination, risk taking, and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them."

The 2017 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 16) is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year average growth of 481%. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $206 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 619,500 jobs over the past three years.

Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino's Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.
