ATLANTA, Oct. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fulcrum Equity Partners is pleased to announce that three portfolio companies, QASymphony, SaaSOptics and Synthio, have been recognized by the 2018 Inc. 5000 as part of the top 10 fastest growing SaaS companies in Atlanta. Reported on an annual basis, the Inc. 5000 ranks the fastest growing private companies in America.
"We're excited to be partners and support the rapid growth and vision of these companies," said Jim Douglass, Partner of Fulcrum Equity Partners. "While we will invest nationally, Fulcrum truly values partnerships with strong companies and management teams in our backyard, and this recognition is a testament to how competitive the Atlanta market has become on a na-tional scale."
Atlanta has been a national leader in the application software market since the early days of the computer with such leaders as MSA, American Software, HBOC, Internet Security Systems, and S1 and more recently with Secure Works, GreenSky, First Data, and Pardot. Atlanta is a prominent leader in telecommunications, financial transactions processing, internet security, digital media, marketing automation, logistics and supply chain management, data analytics and distribution services. The Atlanta Tech Community is bolstered by the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), the largest technology organization in the U.S., as well as over 40 colleges and universities, including Georgia Tech and Emory University. The area ranks among top 5 U.S. cities for net new job growth for the last decade, has the lowest relative cost of doing business among the nation's 10 largest metro areas and benefits from the world's busiest airport that is within a two-hour flight of 80% of the U.S. population and has direct flights to over 150 U.S. cities.
"Atlanta is at the geographic and economic center of the Southeast and is one of the fastest growing and largest economic regions in the U.S." said Frank X. Dalton, Partner of Fulcrum Equity Partners. "It has become one of the leading technology centers for B2B software payments, security, and healthcare IT."
