A platform of concierge services for utilities and home maintenance is the fastest-growing of 44 Central Ohio companies on this year's Inc. 5000 list.
LiveEasy, which rebranded after a decade as MoveEasy, grew revenue 13-fold from 2019 to 2022, according to the list published Tuesday. The Grandview Heights company made its debut in the rankings at No. 487. It's the only local entry in the top 500.
Revenue was not disclosed, but co-founder and CEO Venkatesh Ganapathy told Columbus Inno in June he's aiming to top $10 million in 2024 and $100 million within five years – which would likely result in repeat appearances on the Inc. list.
One of Columbus Inno's Startups to Watch for 2023, the company also raised $10.5 million through two rounds in 2022. It has 78 employees.
Ohio put 129 companies on this year's list, five fewer than statewide last year. The fastest was No. 5 overall: Liveshopper Sassie, with 37,386% three-year growth. Based in Findlay in Northwest Ohio, the company makes market research software.
The Inc. list is built from companies that apply and provide financial information. The rankings are based on percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022.
To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019 – at least $100,000 in 2019 and $2 million for 2022. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit and independent – not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies – as of Dec. 31, 2022.
