The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs.

“I cannot say how proud I am of the team at SPHERE, being named Number 159 in the Inc. 500 is the result of the hard work of so many people.”, said Founder and President, Rita Gurevich, “Being Number 1 in our category in New Jersey and Number 17 in the New York Metro Region is testament to the need for our services over a wide range of industries.”

By working with clients and partners SPHERE has created a strong methodology that provides a roadmap to solving the most critical issues facing all companies today. By understanding what data you have, who has access to it, who owns it and whether it is stale or active; companies can leverage the treasure trove of information that they now own.

The 2014 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 20 to November 30), is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 516%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $211 billion, generating 505,000 jobs over the past three years.

“What surprises me, even though I know it’s coming, is the sheer variety of the paths our entrepreneurs take to success, thematically reflecting how our economy has evolved,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “This year there are far more social media and far fewer computer hardware businesses than there were, say, six years ago. But what doesn’t change is the fearsome creativity unleashed by American entrepreneurship.”
