Inc 5000
Recognized by Inc 5000 Nine Times
Inc 5000 tracks America’s fastest growing private companies. To place on the Inc. 5000, a company must provide evidence of revenue growth over a three-year period. Earning a place on the Inc 5000 is difficult; It is even harder to maintain that spot 9 times!
UpClear has been awarded a place on this prestigious list 9 times since 2014. It is not just a reflection of the high standards to which we hold ourselves, but also a demonstration of consistently achieving new levels of excellence across the company, and from our teams that contribute to UpClear’s growth.
