Eva Garland Consulting Secures Spot on Inc. 5000 List for a Third Time

Eva Garland Consulting, LLC (EGC) is one of the country’s fastest-growing private businesses – for a third year in a row – according to Inc. magazine.

The company earned its placement on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list with a revenue growth of more than 250% over the past three years.

EGC is a Raleigh-based financial consulting firm that assists startups and established researchers with grant proposals, funding management and compliance support services. Its rapid growth can be attributed to its success in helping scientists and entrepreneurs secure and manage grant funding to advance scientific development. The company’s 43 full-time professionals have assisted clients throughout each of the 50 states in securing over $350 million in government and private foundation grants.

Company’s growth bolstered by contract, award milestones

As part of the company’s growth in 2019, EGC earned a sizable contract with the National Institutes of Health and a monetary award by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

The NIH granted EGC a five-year contract to administer its expanded Applicant Assistance Program. During the contract, EGC will coach hundreds of small businesses through Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer grant proposals. Each year, the SBIR/STTR program awards more than $2 billion to support cutting-edge technologies.

The SBA awarded EGC $50,000 through its nationwide Growth Accelerator Fund competition. EGC was recognized as one of the most impactful small business accelerators in the country, and leveraged the award to build SBIRLand.com, which provides free SBIR/STTR resources and forums for entrepreneurs.
