Inc. Magazine has just rolled out their annual list of fastest growing companies, the Inc. 500–though it’s now the Inc. 5000–and browsing through the list, here are the top companies in our area in the list.

5. Genoptix, Carlsbad
10. HydraMedia, Beverly Hills
17. Bridgepoint Education, San Diego
19. Vizio, Irvine
51. Eyeonics, Aliso Viejo
52. Ethertronics, San Diego
62. Wpromote, El Segundo
72. LawCrossing, Pasadena
89. ESET, San Diego
101. Solekai Systems, San Diego
141. Net Systems, Irvine
185. Emerald Health Services, Marina del Rey
192. Oversee.net, Los Angeles
196. Mercury Equipment Finance, Rancho Santa Margarita
207. Strategic Marketing & Media, Brea
210. Gorilla Nation Media, Los Angeles
239. Test Country, San Diego
240. Blue Wave Micro, Aliso Viejo

Not surprisingly, a number of the firms on the list are driven from the technology industry. Though, it was interesting that a significant number of the firms (Hydramedia, Wpromote, Oversee, Gorilla Nation) all fall into the online advertising or related areas, and quite a few firms from San Diego. Looking farther down the list, other technology firms on the list included:

269. Sentek Consulting, San Diego
292. Superior Internet Solutions, San Diego
325. DriveCam, San Diego
389. NxTV, Woodland Hills
428. LoanToolbox, Westlake Village

I haven’t looked through all 5000 companies on the list yet, but I’m sure  there are many other companies worth noting who made the cut.
