BUFFALO, March 16, 2021 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Founders Software is No. 8 on its second annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: New York City Metro list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing New York City area-based private companies. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the NYC area economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.

Founders Software CEO Paul Snyder stated, “We are incredibly honored to be named to this prominent list among some of the most influential companies in the tri-state area. Our mission at Founders is to support and grow businesses to their fullest potential. We’re so proud of our employees’ commitment and tenacity to keep this mission alive during the difficult time over the past year.”

Between 2017 and 2019, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 214 percent and, in 2019 alone, they employed more than 48,000 people and added nearly $9 billion to the NYC Metro area economy. Companies based in Stamford, Connecticut, New York City, and central New Jersey brought in the highest revenue overall.
