Thank you GZnation.

You fuel our fire. You inspire our growth. You live the lifestyle. And it’s because of you that we were chosen by Inc Magazine to be a part of the 2013 Inc. 500! Kind of a big deal. Each year Inc. Magazine unveils a list of the top 500 fastest growing private companies in the nation.

GOAL ZERO RANKED NO. 9 ON THE INC. 500 WITH THREE-YEAR SALES GROWTH OF 16,981%.

We read these numbers as an overall growth- companywide & inside and out. This includes the growth of each individual whether an employee or a customer. Great people, great culture, and a meaningful purpose is the recipe for success. And you are the main ingredient.

"We are honored and excited to be featured on Inc.'s prestigious list," said Joe Atkin, President and CEO of Goal Zero. "Achieving this recognition is another example of how our employees and customers are the magic of our business. We've not only helped create a new category with award winning products, we're also realizing our mission of empowering people to provide for themselves and their families. And we've only just begun."

Special shout out to the Inc. 500 as well. We really are honored to land on this list filled with other awesome new companies.

Keep it real GZnation!
