Inc. Magazine recently released the 2014 Inc. 5000 list that ranks the fastest growing privately-held companies in America. We combed the top 1,000 for Finovate alums and two made the cut. Many more are listed among the remaining 4,000 companies.
Before taking a closer look at the two fast-growing companies, here are some stats on the financial services sector as a whole ranked against the other 24 industry categories:

- Job creation: It ranked 12 of 25 in the number of jobs the industry created from 2010 to 2013
