Inc. revealed that the Tempe-based RFP Success Company has placed on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. 

RFP Success Company ranks No. 2878, and the ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses, according to a press release. 

Facebook, Microsoft, Patagonia and many other household name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.   

“It’s not only an honor, but completely surreal to be represented on the Inc. 5000 for the first time,” Lisa Rehurek, RFP Success Company founder and CEO, said in the release. “It is so fun and exciting to look back at where we started and see the progress we’ve made.” 

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. 

For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location and other criteria, go to inc.com/inc5000. 

“I love being part of growing the economy and contributing to the 1,187,266 jobs created over the past three years,” said Rehurek.

Through the implementation of their proprietary RFP Success Framework, the RFP Success Company has helped their clients secure over $500 million in state government contracts, averaging a 73% RFP win rate and a 98% downselect rate for their clients, the release stated.
