Green Cloud is named one of America’s fastest-growing private companies, appearing in Inc. 5000 for four consecutive years

Green Cloud Technologies (“Green Cloud”), a cloud technology solutions provider, was included in Inc. 5000’s 38th annual list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies for four consecutive years. Founded in 2011 by successful entrepreneurs from Greenville, S.C., Green Cloud is one of the largest independent channel-only cloud IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) providers in the country that sells cloud infrastructure products through several hundred channel partners across the country. Green Cloud’s three-year revenue growth is 217 percent, and only 13 percent of companies make Inc. 5000 four times.

“Being a part of Inc. 5000 is validation that our powerful, scaleable cloud solutions and partner enablement services are helping our partners grow and innovate,” said Keith Coker, CEO and Co-Founder of Green Cloud. “If our channel partners aren’t successful serving small and medium size companies across the country, then we aren’t doing our job of being a trusted and advanced curator of customer solutions, especially as the complexity and vulnerability of cyber-security threats increase across the globe.”

Green Cloud’s people are the primary differentiator, and the company is laser-focused on transforming the cloud infrastructure market with talented and dedicated employees who share the company’s values and embrace the mission. Every Green Cloud team member is fully vested in the company, and 60 dedicated employees are committed to ensuring Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Value-Added Resellers (VARs) transition their customers to the cloud with turn-key, cloud-based infrastructure solutions.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”

Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
