LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 19, 2024 /
EINPresswire.com/ -- Inc. revealed that Vital Pet Life is on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other brands gained national exposure on the Inc. 5000.
"We are honored to be a repeat honoree on this year's Inc. 5000 list," says Vital Pet Life founder and CEO Donie Yamamoto. “This past year our small, purpose driven brand worked tirelessly to shift the business-as-usual narrative in the pet industry through strategic collaborative partnerships, third party testing and science backed formulations.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”
“We’re grateful for our Vital Pet Life team and partners who are dedicated to caring for and healing animals while bringing positive change in the pet wellness space. By ensuring ethical sourcing, prioritizing transparency and verified sustainability claims, pet consumers are guaranteed trustworthy, certified products that help their pets thrive and do not strip our oceans of valuable resources,” says Donie Yamamoto.

Methodology
Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 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.
