Jay Kamhi of WB Capital (Kamhi World), with three-year revenue growth of 448 percent, ranked 1436 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies
CLEARWATER, Fla., Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Inc. magazine today revealed that WB Capital (Kamhi World) is No. 1436 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. This is WB Capital's third consecutive inclusion on the list, which represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment -- its independent small businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"I never dreamed that after spending twenty years selling toys on the sidewalks of New York City, I'd end up on the Inc 5000 list. But my driving purpose is still the same: to create fun, humorous products that make people laugh and smile," said Jay Kamhi, CEO of WB Capital (Kamhi World). "With the heightened levels of stress and anxiety generated worldwide by COVID-19, the need for smiles and laughter was never greater, and this global need became a real incentive for our company. Although our products sold in record numbers and earned us recognition on the Inc. 5000, our success wasn't about sales figures; our success was about being able to create products that uplifted spirits during a time when humor, smiles, and laughter were all in critically short supply."
The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful, but have also demonstrated resilience amid supply chain woes, labor shortages, and the ongoing impact of Covid-19. Among the top 500, the average median three-year revenue growth rate soared to 2,144 percent. Together, those companies added more than 68,394 jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc. magazine, which will be available on August 23.
"The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated," says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today."
Kamhi's journey has been documented in leading publications including Entrepreneur and Washington Post. From his Talking Pens featuring the voice and likeness of pop-culture figures, to a full line of pop-up greeting cards with light and music that are disrupting the greeting card industry, Kamhi's career as a novelty toy innovator is renowned. Beyond these successes; however, Kamhi says his greatest joy comes from the opportunity to share his insights and lessons learned over his remarkable career to teach, encourage, and inspire the next generation of emerging entrepreneurs.

Methodology
Companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2018 to 2021. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2018. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2021. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2018 is $100,000; the minimum for 2021 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. The top 500 companies on the Inc. 5000 are featured in Inc. magazine's September issue. The entire Inc. 5000 can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
