Inc #610
August 28th, 2007 at 04:37am David Bush - Iasta
Iasta made the Inc 610 List! Ok, technically we made the Inc 5000 List and were ranked 610th nationally, across all industries. Growth like this is tough to maintain. More importantly, growth percentages like this are tough to manage and control, so not to red line the company into head on collision with a brick wall. Fortunately, for all of our legions fans, you will not be seeing that from Iasta and we have managed hyper growth for 7 years. I highly doubt we will be this high next year because of this management discipline.
However, it is a very cool accomplishment and some things I found noteworthy were:
- Iasta is the 8th fastest growing company in Indiana – across all industries
- Iasta is the 30th fastest business services company in the country
- Iasta is the fastest growing supply management software company in the country! (Editors note: I am not 100% sure about this one, since this is not a category, but my manual search produced no others higher.)
Not too shabby for “4 guys in a garage” as we have been referred to in competitive sales.

The competitive attack of “four guys in a garage” usually backfires. I wonder who cares more about your business, (a) some faceless behemoth with lots of slick marketing types, or (b) a small company that’s deeply interested in making your project a success.
And, don’t get me started on innovation. Some large companies in our space are selling stuff that hasn’t changed in years.
