Magazine today ranked Persado, the leading cognitive content generation platform, No. 16 on its 35th annual Inc. 500, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.

Companies such as Microsoft, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn (News - Alert), Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 500. "Being named to the Inc. 500 is a tremendous achievement for Persado," said Alex Vratskides, Co-Founder & CEO, Persado. "It validates not only our dramatic growth but honors the transformative power of cognitive content technology, our pioneering customers, and our brilliant global team. We look forward to an even brighter future." "The Inc. 500 list stands out where it really counts," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 500 without building something great - usually from scratch. That's one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails."
