ISWest Named to Inc. 5,000 as One of the Fastest Growing Companies in America!

Agoura Hills - California, August 27, 2007 – ISWest, Southern California’s Non-Stop Business Internet Service Provider ranked No. 4,045 on the first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. The Inc. 5,000 is an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, and recognizes many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms.

The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy, “the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in other industries.
