Harlem, New York, August 15, 2023 – Zebra Strategies, the leading market research firm focused on amplifying hard-to-engage voices, is proud to announce its debut on the annual Inc. 5000 list – the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Being selected as one of the Inc. 5000 truly exemplifies the continued goal of understanding, engaging and knowing a larger, more diverse audience, and Zebra’s ability to help execute.
Zebra Strategies is an independently owned and operated MWBE. As the Market Research demands continue to evolve to be more inclusive, the central driver of Zebra’s growth and success is built on relationships, and the five (5) tenants the business has been operating under for the past twenty-two years.
“Zebra Strategies continues to give voice to those groups that are often underrepresented and ignored, and companies are more interested than ever to hear and overstand™ them. We have experienced strong growth in recent years resulting from our relentless goal of providing the best qualitative and quantitative research on groups that are hard for brands and companies to engage,” said Denene Rodney, Founder & CEO. “We are honored to be recognized by the INC 5000 and the team feels that it validates our unwavering dedication to the work that we do.”
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that is sortable by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

Methodology
Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
