    CodeStringers Named by Inc. Magazine as the Number 12 Fastest Growing Private Company in California

    By Michael Manzo

    Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 Regionals: California list had an average growth rate of 535 percent. 

    Santa Cruz, California, March 16, 2021 – CodeStringers, a provider of software “upsourcing” services with a commitment to delivering innovation, craftsmanship and integrity in every product we build, today announced that it placed number 12 on the 2021 Inc. 5000 Regionals series list of fastest growing private companies. The California list is the most prestigious ranking of all the regional listings. Additionally, CodeStringers earned a spot among Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America in 2020.

    “Five years ago when we established CodeStringers, our team endeavored to deliberately raise the bar in the software outsourcing industry,” said Michael Manzo, CodeStringers chief executive officer. “Most outsourcers over-promise and under-deliver, turning most engagements into nightmares for the client. So we created CodeStringers in order to change that”.

    “We strive to bring integrity, craftsmanship and innovation to every client engagement, which we call ‘upsourcing’” said Manzo. “And our national and regional Inc. 5000 awards illustrate that we’ve been successful in that endeavor.”

    The companies on this list show stunning rates of growth across all industries in California. Between 2017 and 2019, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 535 percent and, in 2019 alone, they employed more than 40,000 people and added nearly $7 billion to the California economy. Companies based in major metro areas—Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and San Diego—brought in the highest revenue overall.

    “This list proves the power of companies in California no matter the industry,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “The impressive revenues and growth rates prove the insight and diligence of CEOs and that these businesses are here to stay.”
