Inc. 5000 | How are the 2025 Inc. 5000 companies selected?

Companies on the 2025 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2021 to 2024. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent – not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies – as of December 31, 2021. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2021 is $100,000; the minimum required revenue for 2024 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.
