CHICAGO, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Inc. revealed that Urban Infant, Inc. is No. 2923 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

"We conceive, design, and re-think functional children's products to make every parent's day-to-day life easier" state the Urban Infant's co-founders Eric Eichhorn and Kelly Friedl.
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."
"It is an emotional hurdle when any parent drops their child at a new preschool or daycare. It is, in most circumstances, the toddler's first nap not in their own home. We spent over 3 years designing and re-engineering the perfect nap mat that helps ease this transition" explain Kelly and Eric.
The Urban Infant Inc. is owned and operated by a fun-loving brother-and-sister team. The company has grown to become a household name with both parents and US childcare centers.

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
