  • Columbus CEO rankings are based on votes received from readers. This recognition does not guarantee any outcomes for individuals engaging Gerber, LLC. Gerber, LLC did not provide compensation to be considered for this recognition, and did not receive any compensation, monetary or otherwise, for the recognitions received.

  • Inc. 5000 Methodology.  Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent--not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies--as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
