"Inc." was founded in Boston by Bernie Goldhirsh and its first issue appeared in April 1979.

] Though long considered the younger upstart compared to most business publications, "Inc." suffered during the dot-com era as titles like "Fast Company" seemed to grab more attention, but the tech crash and subsequent retrenchment saw the magazine stabilize its circulation and image. In 2000, widowed and battling cancer, Goldhirsh sold the magazine to Gruner + Jahr for a price reported over $200 million. Goldhirsh's devotion to the principles of entrepreneurism led him to create the Goldhirsh Foundation and a unique trust for his children. [cite news

The magazine is now based in New York City, and run under the leadership of CEO John Koten and Editor Jane Berentson.

Founder Bernie Goldhirsh's son, Ben Goldhirsh, is the founder of GOOD magazine.

Inc.5000

The Inc. 5,000 is an expansion of the Inc. 500, which Inc. introduced in 1982. This list is an annual ranking of the country’s top 5,000 fastest-growing, private companies and also features a special ranking of the top 10 percent of the list—the Inc. 500. [ [http://secure.lenos.com/lenos/inc/Inc500WashingtonDC/about.asp Inc500WashingtonDC: about ] ] The Inc. 5,000 includes the Inc. 500 but digs deeper to offer the most comprehensive look ever at the entrepreneurial engine driving the U.S. economy in the 5,000 fastest growing companies in America. The Inc. 5,000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth over a four year period. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by the first week of the starting calendar year, and therefore able to show four full calendar years of sales. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31 of the last year measured. Revenue in the initial year must have been at least $200,000, and revenue in the most recent year must have been at least $2 million.
