Clinipace Worldwide Ranks in Top 50 on FORBES’ “America’s Most Promising Companies” List

MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clinipace Worldwide, a global digital contract research organization (dCRO), today announced that the company has been listed at No. 36 on FORBES annual ranking of America’s Most Promising Companies -- a list of 100 privately held, high-growth companies with bright futures.

“We owe this achievement to the dedication and expertise of our employees who work tirelessly to deliver a new service delivery model with which we are changing and improving the way clinical trials are run through a technology-enabled platform.”

This prestigious list is based on growth (both in sales and hiring), quality of management team and investors, margins, market size and key partnerships.

Clinipace has closed four global acquisitions over the past three years. Most recently, Clinipace acquired Paragon Biomedical, expanding its therapeutic expertise, site management capabilities, and clinical operations. In addition, the company extended its global footprint with the addition of offices in Irvine, California, High Wycombe, United Kingdom, and Trivandrum, India. Clinipace now employs over 450 individuals globally.

“It is an honor to be named to FORBES’ ranking of America’s Most Promising Companies,” said Jeff Williams, CEO, Clinipace Worldwide. “We owe this achievement to the dedication and expertise of our employees who work tirelessly to deliver a new service delivery model with which we are changing and improving the way clinical trials are run through a technology-enabled platform.”

About FORBES Most Promising Companies List

One metric never says it all. For the Most Promising list, FORBES strove for a holistic gauge of young, privately-held companies, trying to pin down their trajectories by looking at a slew of variables. Over the course of six months, FORBES reviewed thousands of applications. The final assessment is based on growth (both in sales and hiring), quality of management team and investors, margins, market size and key partnerships. FORBES turned to CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data research firm that specializes in assessing private companies, to refine the search. Their MOSAIC software scans 45,000 sources to measure a company’s health. A new distribution deal, for example, marks a positive signal, while the loss of an executive is a negative. MOSAIC gathers those myriad signals into a final score that FORBES uses as an initial guide in producing the list. After verifying sales numbers, speaking with each company and debating their merits and blemishes, FORBES produces a final ranking.
