MyBinding has just reached a total of five awards from Inc. magazine! We are proud to have won a third “Inc. 5000” award, meaning that Inc. has found our business to be one of the top 5000 privately-owned, U.S. businesses.

They look for the “best run, most innovative, and most inspiring” companies. This year, we ranked 3786 with Inc. It takes at least three years to hit all the qualifications. They must have started earning money at least three years ago, made at least $100,000 two years ago, and made at least $2 million last year. And we have definitely hit that several times.

We continue to stay committed to our customers, making sure they end up satisfied with our business. Our sales, marketing, and shipping teams work hard. We moved to a new facility in March, and it has only made business run smoother.

“We keep wanting to give the customers the very best, and with a new building, we can continue to do so,” said Mike Ware, co-CEO of MyBinding. “For example, we’re one of the fastest shipping companies in our field, and with the warehouse in the building, we can get even faster.”

Big names such as Microsoft, Timberland and Jamba Juice have long been on this list of prestigious business practices. And joining the Inc. 5000 just this year are well-known companies such as Living Social and OtterBox. There are many different categories of business that are included in Inc. magazine’s list, and more than a few in the same line of business as MyBinding.

“Let’s be honest, this isn’t a very exciting industry,” said Jeff McRitchie, head of marketing, with a smile. “It’s not the tech fads that everyone is jumping on board with. But we always make sure to keep our niche, our core focus. And that builds up trust and a loyal customer base.”

So thank you, Customers, Vendors, and MyBinding employees for making this happen—for a third time!

Here at MyBinding.com, we’re proud to announce that we’ve made Inc. magazine’s top 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in America for the second straight year. And while we’re definitely excited about receiving such an honor, we’re just as excited to be ranked among so many other great companies…right here in Portland! In fact, here’s a brief look at the top five Portland-based companies according to the Inc. 5000.

Elemental Technologies
Topping the Inc. 5000′s Portland list was this technology development company. Elemental Technologies develops technology for online video streaming. They work with major content distributors like Comcast, Disney, and HBO to bring streaming video to your media device of choice. In addition to being Inc.’s number one in Portland, Elemental Technologies also finds themselves ranked second among all software companies nationwide.

DiscoverOrg
Just across the river in Vancouver, this 5 year-old company maintains a database of contact information that it makes available to technology marketers. Targeting over 15,000 organizations, including Fortune-ranked companies, universities, and government agencies, DiscoverOrg gives technology marketers unprecedented access to the largest technology buyers in the world.

Janrain
Third on our local list is Janrain, a company that created an online platform to allow users access to multiple accounts using only their preferred social media credentials, saving them the hassle of multiple logins and passwords. On the flip side, this also grants businesses access to their users social media data, from which they can develop and initiate more targeted campaigns. Interesting side note: The company’s name was inspired by a typical Portland occurrence–rain in January.

Virtualosity Solutions
Back across the river in Camas, Virtualosity Solutions comes in at number four on the Inc. 500o’s top Portland-based companies. This local Information Technology service specializes in solutions and software development for financial services, health care, education, and imaging technologies. Despite its small town roots, Virtualosity Solutions has an impressive list of global customers.

Eid Passport
Finishing up the top five is a particularly notable company, our neighbor, Eid Passport. It’s true! You’ll find this security screening company just down the road from us in Hillsboro. Eid Passport offers products and services to high-security facilities such as military, government, and other commercial buildings. They specialize in granting and streamlining secure access to authorized personnel. So much for us sneaking into their office parties, right?

Just for good measure, here’s a handful of other companies we’re happy to share the limelight with:

Jama Software
Sustainable Harvest
Consumer Cellular
Ruby Receptionists
Keen
Axium
Plaid Pantry
