Their solutions have filled a void in the marketplace by offering researchers, marketers and advertisers the unique opportunity to engage consumers in a one-on-one discussion online.

The 2009 Inc. 5000, unveiled on Inc.com, serves as a unique report card on the U.S. economy.

The Inc. 5000 are responsible for creating more than 1 million jobs since their founding, making the list perhaps the best example of the impact private, fast-growing companies can have on the economy.
"Savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well as older private companies that are still expanding at an impressive rate," said Inc. 5000 project manager Jim Melloan. "That's why our list is so eagerly anticipated every year."
