## Story

Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. - Waters Edge Wineries® today announced it has ranked No. 2521 on Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 5000 list, the ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. Waters Edge Wineries jumped over 400 spots on the list from 2022 to 2023. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment - its independent small businesses.

“It’s a privilege to be recognized for the third consecutive year among renowned brands as one of the nation’s fastest growing private companies,” said Waters Edge Wineries founder and president, Ken Lineberger.

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000 - with the fast growth that requires - is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”
