ATLANTA — August 16, 2022 — For the 6th year in a row, Crisp has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies in America. When Crisp made the list for the first time in 2017, it was quite the honor. Now, as a six-time Inc. 5000 honoree, Crisp has accomplished a feat that only a mere five percent of tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years have achieved.
Founder and CEO Michael Mogill began Crisp with $500 and a vision. If you had told him then that this would be the outcome ten years later, he never would have believed you.
To earn a spot on Inc. magazine’s coveted growth list, a company must be US-based, privately held, and bring in a minimum annual revenue of $2M or more. Growth is measured in terms of revenue and employee growth — factors that Crisp has blown out of the water in recent years.
“My vision when I started Crisp was simply to not be broke. I was thinking one-dimensional, and I didn’t have a true goal in mind,” states Mogill. “All of that quickly changed, however, when I began putting others first. I realized that helping law firm owners reach unprecedented heights was something that I was passionate about, and from there, Crisp’s billion dollar vision was born: to help 1,000 law firms grow their revenue by $1,000,000 each ($1B+ impact) by 2024 — and we’re well on our way.”
As Crisp’s fearless leader grew, so did his creation. Crisp started as a small organization with a team of one. Today, it sits at just under 100 with no signs of slowing down.
With the addition of so many new innovative minds, the people of Crisp outgrew their previous headquarters in 2021. For this reason, Michael envisioned a brand new space filled with the latest technologies and modern conveniences where his team could grow, thrive, and create together.
Crisp’s brand new office includes:
- A stadium-quality 20-foot LED wall
- Five conference rooms with privacy glass that can turn from clear to opaque and UHD displays
- Four-zone audio system distributing music to pre-function and patio areas
- High-tech white noise system enabling multiple phone calls to occur simultaneously without disruption
- Ergonomic workstations with high end sit/stand electronic desks
- Mother’s room and relaxation room onsite
- Lobby/pre-function area with Ultra-HD 219” LED display
- High-tech podcast studio with full control room
- Custom catering kitchen for special events
- Two patios
- And so much more
The benefits don’t stop at a super cool office, though. Crisp’s growth has led to plenty of team member benefits, such as:
- 401(k) with 4% company match
- 5 weeks paid time off, including 7 paid holidays plus the entire week between Christmas Eve & New Year’s Day
- Parental leave: additional weeks of parental leave at 100% salary for new birth and adoptive parents plus Instacart membership
- Annual company bonus program in a profitable, fully bootstrapped company
- On-time direct deposit
- Monthly Crisp swag
- A chance for a team member to win a Tesla (Crisper of the Year)
- And, you guessed it, so much more
As the team grew, so did the ideas. As Crisp has continued to grow rapidly, Michael has published his first best-selling book (The Game Changing Attorney), launched the #1 podcast for market leaders (The Game Changing Attorney Podcast), and hosts the #1 law firm growth conference on the planet (Game Changers Summit) each year.
While the Game Changers Summit might not have started as the world’s top legal conference, but it’s certainly earned that title in years since. This year, we’re going bigger than ever. The Summit will be held on the field of the larger-than-life Mercedes-Benz Stadium this November 2-3 in Atlanta, GA.
Featuring world-class names such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin O’Leary, Cy Wakeman, David Goggins, John Morgan, Laura Wasser, and more, the Game Changers Summit 2022 is going to be the event of a lifetime.
Whether it’s a new internal project, a community service initiative, or a life-changing event, Crisp is always looking for ways to level up and stay ahead of the curve. That’s a huge driver behind their repeated appearances on the Inc. 5000 list.
One of Crisp’s core values is Better Than Yesterday, and this team embodies that philosophy in every way. Crisp wouldn’t have made the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing companies six years in a row if we weren’t constantly trying to do better and be better for both our clients and ourselves.
“Our values are a big reason why we have been able to maintain this growth rate and the momentum we’ve built in this industry,” explains Mogill. “Not very many companies can say they’ve made the Inc. 5000 at all, and Crisp has been on it six times. I’m incredibly proud of the team and the impact we’ve made for our clients over the years, and I look forward to an even brighter future.”
This is just the beginning. Crisp plans to make its billion dollar vision come to life, and we can’t wait to see what else we will accomplish together.
