Inspire posted a 398% three-year revenue growth figure from 2016 to 2019, earning a spot among the top 25% of the highly publicized list.
“Making the cut for the Inc. 5000 is a major accomplishment that we owe to our incredibly dedicated staff, passionate investors and the amazing work God is doing in the faith-based investing industry,” said Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire Investing. “Inspire is completely dedicated to managing money for the glory of God with a faith-based ESG approach to biblically responsible investing principles.

Inc. 5000 Methodology
The 2020 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2016 and 2019. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2019. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2016 is $100,000; the minimum for 2019 is $2 million.
