We’re thrilled, humbled, and absolutely energized to announce that we’ve been ranked #1 on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
For anyone unfamiliar, the Inc. 5000 is more than a list. It’s an annual celebration of entrepreneurship, innovation, and the companies that are redefining industries and creating jobs across the U.S. To be placed anywhere on this list is a huge accomplishment. But to take the very top spot — to be named the fastest-growing private company in the country — is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone.
And we didn’t get here overnight.
How We Got Here
When we started this journey, we weren’t focused on chasing awards. We were focused on solving a real problem, serving our customers better than anyone else, and building something that mattered. The early days were scrappy — late nights, small teams, and big dreams. We had to work twice as hard with half the resources, but that’s where our DNA was forged: resourcefulness, resilience, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
Over time, we stayed true to that vision while continuing to evolve. We listened to our customers, adapted to changing markets, and kept innovating — not just to keep up, but to stay ahead. Each product launch, each campaign, each partnership brought us closer to where we are today.
This ranking is the result of years of dedication, countless iterations, and an unwavering belief in what we’re building.
What Being #1 Means
Yes, it’s about growth — but not just in revenue or size. Being #1 means we’ve built momentum that inspires trust, attracts top talent, and opens doors to even greater opportunities. It shows that our business model works, our product resonates, and our execution is strong.
It also means that our success has a ripple effect: we’re creating jobs, driving innovation, and contributing to the economy in ways that go far beyond our own walls. We’re proud to be part of a broader community of entrepreneurs who are proving that vision, creativity, and perseverance can truly change industries.
The People Behind the Achievement
This ranking is not just about the company name. It’s about the people who made it possible.
Our team has shown an extraordinary level of dedication, creativity, and resilience. They’ve navigated challenges with optimism, pushed boundaries, and consistently delivered work that exceeds expectations. From product to marketing, sales to operations, every single department has played a role in this win.
We also owe a huge debt of gratitude to our customers and partners. You’ve trusted us, challenged us, and given us the opportunity to prove ourselves. Without your belief in what we do, none of this would have been possible.
Looking Ahead
While we’re taking a moment to celebrate this achievement, we see this as the beginning, not the finish line. Rankings like the Inc. 5000 are snapshots in time, and our focus is on what comes next.
We plan to:
- Keep innovating — pushing the boundaries of what our technology and services can do.
Invest in our people — because the best teams build the best companies. - Expand our reach — bringing our solutions to new markets and new audiences.
Stay true to our mission — never losing sight of why we started in the first place.
A Final Thank You
From the bottom of our hearts: thank you. To our team, customers, partners, and supporters — this is your win as much as it is ours.
We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and we can’t wait to see where this momentum takes us next.
Here’s to the next chapter — and to continuing to build something truly remarkable.
