Cloudinary announced its inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“In today’s visual economy, images and video have become vital business assets. No longer part of the experience, visuals are the experience – and getting visual storytelling right means improved customer engagement, connection, and conversions,” said Itai Lahan, Co-founder and CEO, Cloudinary. “It’s a privilege to be recognized on the Inc. 5000 list. As we grow and scale, we are committed to delivering the kinds of solutions that today’s businesses need in order to create and deliver powerful media experiences quickly and efficiently, no matter where their audiences are engaged.”

The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful, but have also demonstrated resilience amid supply chain woes, labor shortages, and the ongoing impact of Covid-19. Among the top 500, the median three-year revenue growth rate soared to 2,144 percent. Together, those companies added more than 68,394 jobs over the past three years.

“The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today.”

Bootstrapped and profitable since its founding in 2012, Cloudinary has seen significant growth year over year. The company cemented its unicorn status when it surpassed $100M in ARR December 2021 and announced its $2 billion valuation as part of its secondary investment from Blackstone Growth a few months later. Leading brands like Atlassian, Bleacher Report, Bombas, Crocs, Etsy, NBC, Neiman Marcus, Nintendo, Mediavine, and Tesla consider Cloudinary to be their ‘secret sauce’ to delivering critically important media experiences.
