Inc - A note from Inc.'s executive editor

Dear Inc. Reader,

The Inc. Best in Business Early-Rate deadline is just a few weeks away, August 13, at 11:59 p.m. PT, so I am reaching out to see if we can answer any questions for you.

For more than 40 years, Inc. has recognized entrepreneurs nationwide with soaring revenue by including them in the prestigious Inc. 5000 list. However, this past year has completely transformed the business landscape. Maybe you persevered through struggle and sacrifice. Or perhaps you pivoted to a crisis response. Regardless of how your business has transformed over these extraordinary times, Inc. has been honored to witness the impact your teams have made.

That’s why, for the second year, the editors of Inc. are recognizing this impact—recognizing you—with our Best in Business Awards. After a highly competitive inaugural year, Inc. will honor even more Best in Business winners across a growing field of 49 categories, including new awards such as Pandemic Response, Environmental Issues, and Economic Equity. 

Whatever your circumstance, celebrate your company's positive impact by applying for this year's Best in Business award.

If you have any questions, sign up to join me and my fellow Inc. editors at an upcoming Best in Business Q&A session here on August 5 at 3:00 p.m. ET, or don’t hesitate to respond to this email and we will get right back to you.
