Founded in 2011, SheerID works with more than 300 B2C brands in retail, telecommunications, streaming media, internet services, software, and hospitality, and has the ability to digitally verify 2.5 billion consumers around the world. Brands like Amazon, Home Depot, Spotify, and T-mobile use SheerID to instantly verify consumer-provided data so they can run personalized marketing campaigns to tight-knit communities like students, teachers and healthcare workers. Because these campaigns appeal to a person’s identity and sense of belonging, marketers see higher conversion rates and lifetime value.

“I’m incredibly proud of the dedication and effort that it took from the SheerID team to achieve this milestone in the last two years during such an unpredictable economic environment,” stated Jake Weatherly, CEO of SheerID. “Looking ahead, we have tremendous opportunities in today’s economy for B2C marketers to build impactful revenue and loyalty through exclusive, community-based programs that celebrate consumers for who they are.“

Methodology
The 2023 Inc. 5000 Regionals are ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2019 and 2021. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2021. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2021 is $1 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.
