LONG BEACH, CA—Inc.—Inc. magazine revealed that Sunstone Management is No. 65 on its second annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: California list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing California-based private companies. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the California economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.
“It’s such an honor to be recognized for our hard work and success,” said founder John Shen. “We look forward to Sunstone’s continued growth potential for years to come.”
Sunstone reported an impressive two-year revenue growth of 319%. The company was previously named to the 2020 Inc. 500 list at #481, ranking in the top 10 percent of fastest-growing private companies in America.
The companies on this list show stunning rates of growth across all industries in California. Between 2017 and 2019, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 535 percent and, in 2019 alone, they employed more than 40,000 people and added nearly $7 billion to the California economy. Companies based in major metro areas—Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and San Diego—brought in the highest revenue overall.
“This list proves the power of companies in California 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.”
