Ideal Concepts achieved a 522% growth over this period, putting it in the top 17% of companies nationwide.
To qualify for the annual Inc. 5000 list, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by January 2013, and be able to show three full calendar years of sales. Additionally, qualifying companies must be U.S. based and privately held. Revenue in 2013 must have reached $100,000, and revenue in 2016 must have been at least $2 million.
AIO and Ideal Concepts are included in the “Insurance Companies” category, which covers a wide assortment of business concentrations including all aspects of insurance business, and all lines of insurance. Insurance carriers, adjusters, warrantors, as well as property & casualty lines of insurance marketers, among a plethora of other types of companies, are included in this category. Of the top ten companies listed in this vastly varied category, AIO had the third highest revenue for 2016.
Ideal Concepts president and AIO founder John Pequeno said, “We are honored to be included on this list, and are very proud to be one of the highest ranked individual health insurance marketers. Our ranking among the top 12% of Inc. 5000 honorees highlights the extreme growth we’ve achieved over the past three years, arguably the most turbulent years in the individual health insurance business. Since 2013 when Healthcare.gov was launched, we have managed to consistently grow and expand in a market that has been repeatedly subjected to persistent and acute turmoil."

Ideal Concepts, Inc. started in the insurance sales and technology industry in 2005 under the leadership of founder and President, John Pequeno. As a graduate of Lehigh University, with an advanced degree in computer engineering, John decided to use his technology expertise to revolutionize one of the least technologically advanced industries in the world, the insurance industry.
We developed our first product in 2005 with the launch of iWebQuotes.com, an insurance marketing website. The purpose of the service was to connect clients looking for health and life insurance with experienced agents who could review the options with them.
As iWebQuotes.com became successful, we built strong relationships with many agents and agencies in the business, and it quickly became evident that there was a void in insurance sales technology. Agents needed technology which could facilitate selling insurance to clients over the phone and internet. This led to the launch of American Insurance Organization (AIO) in 2007. AIO is an Insurance Marketing Organization, which partners with Insurance Carriers and the Insurance Agents in order to facilitate the sales process to the actual clients who are purchasing insurance.
In 2014, Ideal Concepts launched our newest marketing and sales solution technology, SalesRadix. For the first time ever in the insurance industry, SalesRadix provides a turnkey sales solution. Our technology gives agents the highest quality leads, an advanced marketing system, a customer relationship manager and access to our private health exchange. We believe that an agent should focus on what they are best at, which is sales, while we manage all of the administrative work, marketing, and technology for them.
As we continue to grow in an ever complex industry, you can be sure that Ideal Concepts will continue to develop technology, products, and solutions, in order to simplify the insurance industry.
