For the 2nd Time, Signature Athletics Makes the Inc. 5000,
at No. 2926 in 2024, With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 173 Percent!
NEW YORK, August 13, 2024 – Inc. revealed today that Signature Athletics, Inc. ranks No. 2926 on the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"Our inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list is a testament to the dedication and passion of our incredible team. Through Signature Locker they’ve embraced the opportunity to revolutionize the on-demand custom uniform industry in the youth sports sector, where the need for high-quality, timely, and personalized lacrosse, soccer and field hockey team apparel has never been greater", says Founder and CEO Dan Soviero. “Plus, continuing to innovate and execute well on our lacrosse equipment roots through Signature Lacrosse and helping grow the sports we love through Signature Events sport camps makes them accessible to the next generation of athletes. We’re excited to continue driving growth and innovation in this space, empowering young athletes and the communities that support them."
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”
“Over the last three years, we have reimagined the entire client journey and our internal processes because our old processes and manual ways of doing business hindered our growth. We built and implemented new systems and automations to streamline product discovery, ordering, manufacturing and delivery, ensuring the best outcomes for our clients and team members. We’re now more ready than ever for continued growth”, says Andy Perry, COO.
“We’re excited to share our love of lacrosse, soccer and field hockey to more and more children and young adults through our American Camp Association (ACA) accredited overnight sports camps. In addition to action packed fun at camp, we also make it a point to teach important life skills like leadership and teamwork on and off the field”, says Madeline Soviero, Director of Signature Events.
