The New York City-based agency that's championing the independent workforce is honored for another consecutive year of growth
NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Inc. Magazine revealed that New York City-based Gather, the world's first agency of independents, has once again landed on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. This marks Gather's third year in a row making the list, demonstrating the agency's consistent year-over-year revenue and team growth.
"At Gather, we pride ourselves in navigating a hybrid-work environment where norms are shifting and technological disruption is guaranteed but innovation is not," states Justin Tobin, founder and CEO. "As many struggle to keep pace with changes in how we do work, Gather was built for it. Being recognized for a third year in a row on the Inc. 5000 empirically demonstrates the success of our unique business model."
Gather, a pioneer of the Team as a Service (TaaS) model, addresses client needs by drawing from the deep expertise of their vast network of independents. Their interdisciplinary, independent-first model is, in itself, a unique innovation, 10+ years in the making. Gather's founders understood firsthand a business's need for a flexible workforce and people's desire for autonomy and independence. Through Gather, they've harmoniously united these opposing ideals to deliver exceptional work for clients while building a strong community with collaboration and support for those who comprise it.
"Innovation is part of the Gather's DNA, in large part because it's composed entirely of entrepreneurial-minded individuals," states David Gaspar, partner and head of innovation at Gather. Gatherers opt into client work, ensuring each member of the team is passionate about the client's opportunity, which drives autonomy to innovate solutions to create better outcomes."
Gather works with companies including IBM, MetLife, TD Ameritrade, AMD, Bloomberg and more, focusing on impact and velocity of work to drive real measurable results and lasting business transformation.
"Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic," says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. "To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future."
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 www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 23.

Methodology
Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
