“There are about 7.5 million private companies in the U.S. so to be recognized as one of the top 5,000 10 times is really special, and we are honored to land on the Inc. 5000 once again. The recognition is particularly meaningful during the unprecedented times we have faced in the past year and a half,” said Brightway President and CEO Michael Miller, who co-founded the company with his brother, David Miller. “Brightway didn’t just survive the recession. We found a way to win despite the market and challenges all businesses faced. I’m proud of the organization we’ve built to make that possible, and it’s possible because we’re in it together as a team.”
“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” said Scott Omelianuk, Editor-in-Chief of Inc. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.”
