Less than 3% of companies have made the list six times.
Earlier this year, FluentStream reported that it grew its customer base by 78% over two years and expanded its partnerships by 235% in 2022 alone. The company also expanded its staff by nearly 20% and hired several key executives to round out its management team. Additionally, FluentStream, a 100% remote organization, increased its efforts to serve its workforce by introducing more incentive programs and career-building opportunities.
“Maintaining our commitment to providing an exceptional experience internally and externally has served FluentStream well,” said Cass Gilmore, CEO, FluentStream. “Our high retention rates across our staff, customers and partners reflect where our focus lies and is what fuels our sustained growth. I am incredibly proud of our team and thankful for our customers and partners that help us continually improve how we operate as an organization.”

Offering more than 100 features that can be accessed via any device or location with an internet connection, FluentStream supports on-premises, hybrid and remote organizations, giving owners complete flexibility and control over how they operate their business.
Additionally, FluentStream provides customers with access to an easy-to-use, online platform that empowers organizations and individual users to select and modify their communication preferences nearly instantaneously. For example, customers can forward business calls from a landline to a mobile phone to conduct business on the go or optimize call routing to provide more responsive customer service. With a deep commitment to providing a superior customer experience, FluentStream uniquely provides 24/7 US-based, human support to ensure customers have the support they need whenever they need it.
“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.”
In addition to its ongoing inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list, FluentStream continues to garner industry accolades for its product offering, customer service and channel program.

Inc. 5000 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.
