RADNOR, Pa. (Aug. 13, 2024) — Inc. revealed today that Vālenz® Health ranks as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America: No. 2155 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list, and No. 155 among health services companies. This marks the fourth time in the past five years that Valenz Health has appeared as an Inc. 5000 honoree.
The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia and many other high-profile brands have been Inc. 5000 honorees.
“We’re thrilled to be recognized again this year among America’s fastest-growing private companies, confirming the success of our unique approach to delivering innovative and transformative models in simplifying healthcare,” said Rob Gelb, Chief Executive Officer of Valenz Health. “As our company continues to expand, we’re driving tremendous momentum toward unlocking new strategic growth opportunities for our customers while facilitating high-value care for everyone we serve.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating significant economic disruption over the past three years. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
“To see all the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from healthcare and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller,” said Mike Hofman, Inc. editor-in-chief.
After joining the Inc. 5000 list for the first time in 2020, Valenz Health has continued to experience consistently rapid growth, both organic and acquisitive. Valenz Health has acquired six companies since 2022 – most recently Healthcare Bluebook™, the industry’s leading healthcare quality and cost navigation solution for consumers and responsible employers nationwide.
As a long-respected partner of providers and payers to ensure an elevated experience for all in the healthcare value chain, Valenz Health leverages its fully integrated solutions on a single platform to simplify healthcare. Offering unparalleled access to provider cost, quality and utilization data, Valenz Health empowers members and customers with the information they need to choose high-value care that ensures the best possible outcomes.
For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location and other criteria, visit www.inc.com/inc5000. All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting today, and the top 500 appear in the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, Aug. 20.
