Green Cloud Technologies celebrates the fifth time being named to Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies

Green Cloud Technologies (“Green Cloud”), a cloud technology solutions provider, was included in Inc. 5000 annual list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This is Green Cloud’s fifth appearance on Inc. 5000 (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020), which only four percent of companies are included in the list five times.

Founded in 2011 by accomplished entrepreneurs from Greenville, S.C., Green Cloud is one of 63 South Carolina-based companies included in the 2020 Inc. 5000. 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 more than 625 channel partners across the country.

“Our partners are our first priority and making the INC 5000 list for five straight years confirms our powerful, scalable cloud solutions are giving our partners the right products to help them grow and innovate,” said Keith Coker, CEO and co-founder of Green Cloud. “Being recognized nationally is validation our sustained growth strategy has created a solid foundation to help us better navigate unexpected economic pressures and serve our partners during a national pandemic.”

Inc 5000 list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on 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.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism.”

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.
