Zentro Secures Spot on Inc. 5000 List for Third Consecutive Year

Zentro, a Chicago-based internet service provider specializing in multi-dwelling unit (MDU) services, has achieved a significant milestone by securing the No. 1465 position on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list. This marks the third consecutive year that Zentro has been recognized among America's fastest-growing private companies, solidifying its status as a leader in the telecommunications industry.

The Inc. 5000 list, compiled annually by Inc. magazine, showcases the most successful independent businesses driving the U.S. economy forward. Zentro's inclusion in this prestigious ranking highlights its remarkable growth trajectory and its ability to thrive in a competitive market landscape.

Dave Dobbin, CEO of Zentro, expressed his pride in the company's achievement, stating, "This recognition motivates us to keep pushing boundaries, embracing challenges, and delivering Enlightening Fast internet to our loyal subscribers." Dobbin emphasized that the accomplishment is a testament to the dedication of the entire Zentro team, who have successfully managed two acquisitions and implemented new internal systems while maintaining the company's growth momentum.

The 2024 Inc. 5000 list is particularly noteworthy as it features companies that have demonstrated rapid revenue growth despite facing significant economic challenges, including inflation, rising capital costs, and hiring difficulties. The top 500 companies on this year's list boast an impressive average median three-year revenue growth rate of 1,637 percent, collectively creating 874,458 jobs over the past three years.

Zentro's success is rooted in its commitment to providing "Enlightening Fast Internet," a promise that has resonated with customers across the Midwest. The company has earned a reputation for delivering remarkably fast and reliable internet speeds, coupled with responsive customer support. With a documented 99.99 percent uptime and consistent 5-star customer reviews, Zentro has attracted a client roster that includes some of the largest residential developers and most iconic properties in the region, such as The Tribune Tower and John Hancock Center.

The recognition from Inc. 5000 not only validates Zentro's business model and growth strategy but also positions the company alongside some of the most renowned names in American business. Previous honorees on the Inc. 5000 list include industry giants like Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, and Oracle, all of which were once emerging businesses on this same platform.

Mike Hofman, the newly appointed editor-in-chief of Inc., highlighted the diversity and innovation represented in this year's list, noting the fascinating ways companies are transforming various sectors, from healthcare and AI to apparel and pet food. Hofman congratulated the 2024 honorees for their ability to grow rapidly despite the economic disruptions of the past three years.

As Zentro continues to expand its footprint in the MDU internet service market, its inclusion in the Inc. 5000 list serves as a powerful indicator of the company's potential for future growth and innovation. The recognition also underscores the increasing importance of high-quality internet services in residential and commercial properties, a trend that has been accelerated by recent shifts in remote work and digital connectivity demands.
