Akerna Corp. (Nasdaq: KERN), a leading seed-to-sale regulatory
compliance technology provider and developer of the cannabis
industry’s first enterprise resource planning (ERP) software
technology – MJ Platform®, announced this week that MJ Freeway made
the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the
nation’s fastest-growing private companies.
This marks the fifth year in a row that MJ Freeway has been
selected and is proud to have placed on the list each year it was
eligible for consideration. Since the Inc. 5000 submissions closed,
MJ Freeway listed publicly as Akerna in June 2019 and is the first
cannabis technology company to list on a major U.S. market
exchange. In its last year of eligibility, MJ Freeway ranked number
2171 on the list.
“Maintaining inclusion on the Inc. 5000 for five years running
reflects our team’s commitment to lead and innovate solutions to
our clients’ challenges, as well as our clients’ recognition of the
value MJ Freeway brings to their operations,” stated Akerna Chief
Executive Officer Jessica Billingsley. “We experienced phenomenal
growth in the past three years with international expansion and
launching the industry’s first ERP, and we appreciate our efforts
being recognized in this elite group of businesses.”
Companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list achieved an astounding
three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157
percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in
2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.
“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.”
