"On behalf of SciQuest, I am thrilled to acknowledge our placement on the Inc. 500|5000 list of fastest-growing companies," said CEO Stephen Weihe. "Making Inc. Magazine's coveted list four years in a row is an honor, and we are equally thrilled to be in great company among other highly regarded and well-known businesses."
