With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 14,708% Percent, Fohse Receives Ranking No. 19 Among America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Inc. revealed that Fohse, a leader in innovative LED solutions for cannabis grow lights, is No. 19 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

In 2015, Fohse set out to do what no one had been able to do before: build an LED grow light, specifically designed for cannabis cultivation, that would match—and surpass—the capabilities of any lighting system ever seen in cannabis grows! Today, Fohse is ranked #19 as the fastest-growing private company in America after years of diligence, innovation in light technology, and massive growth resulting in a three-year revenue growth of 14,708 percent.

Brett Stevens, Fohse Co-Founder and CEO says: “This is such an amazing honor for all of us at Fohse and a clear validation of the amazing growth we have experienced in the cannabis grow light sector. We are honored to be mentioned on the list of such amazing companies. This is just the beginning for us as we are continuing to grow. We are still a young company and we are constantly developing new LED solutions and new products so we can continue to expand into more markets across the globe. We are so grateful for our loyal customers who utilize our cannabis grow lights and are continuing to see their yields go up giving consumers better cannabis products!”

The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful, but have also demonstrated resilience amid supply chain woes, labor shortages, and the ongoing impact of Covid-19. Among the top 500, the average median three-year revenue growth rate soared to 2,144 percent. Together, those companies added more than 68,394 jobs over the past three years.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc. magazine, which will be available on August 23.

“The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today, especially those like Fohse that are pioneering LED solutions in the cannabis grow light industry.”

Methodology

Companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2018 to 2021. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2018. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2021. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2018 is $100,000; the minimum for 2021 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. The top 500 companies on the Inc. 5000 are featured in Inc. magazine’s September issue. The entire Inc. 5000 can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
