Valued Veterans Ranks Number 1925 on the
2016 Inc. 5000 with
Three-Year Sales Growth of 194%
CALGARY, Aug. 18, 2016 /CNW/ - Zaio Corporation
(TSXV: ZAO) (the "Company" or "Zaio") is pleased to announce that
its recently acquired Valued Veterans ranked number 1925 on the
35th annual Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private
companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the
most important segment of the economy—America's independent
entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell,
Domino's Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names
gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000.
"We knew from the beginning that the Valued Veterans acquisition
not only provided a strategic fit for product distribution, but
added an extremely talented team of appraisal industry leaders,"
said Shane Copeland, Chief Executive
Officer of Zaio Corporation. "We couldn't be more excited to see
the newest additions to our team achieve such an honor."
"First, I just want to take a moment to thank our team that made
this all possible," said Andrew
Belt, Chief Executive Officer of Valued Veterans. "I think
this sets the perfect tone as we join forces with Zaio and the
Valuation Vision team to set a pace for future revenue
growth."
The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top
500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on
newsstands August 23) is the most
competitive crop in the list's history. The average company on the
list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 433%. The Inc.
5000's aggregate revenue is $200
billion, and the companies on the list collectively
generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of
all jobs created in the entire economy during that period. 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 Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts," says
Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric
Schurenberg. "It honors real achievement by a founder or a
team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something
great – usually from scratch. That's one of the hardest things to
do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it,
free enterprise fails."
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the
list will be held from October 18 through
20, in San Antonio, TX.
Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and
past generations, such as best-selling author and strategist
Tony Robbins, SoulCycle co-founders
Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice, Cornerstone OnDemand founder,
president and CEO Adam Miller,
Marvell Technology Group director and co-founder Weili Dai, and New Belgium Brewing co-founder
and executive chair Kim Jordan.

Methodology
The 2016 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to
percentage revenue growth when comparing 2012 to 2015. To qualify,
companies must have been founded and generating revenue by
March 31, 2012. They had to be
U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not
subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2015. (Since then, a number of
companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The
minimum revenue required for 2012 is $100,000; the minimum for 2015 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to
decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc.
500 are featured in Inc.'s September issue. They represent the top
tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at
