Inspire Makes Inc. 5000 List For the Seventh Year in A Row

Inspire Impact Group has been named to the Inc. 5000 for the seventh consecutive year, joining an elite group of companies that have sustained the level of growth required to earn the distinction seven years in a row. Historically, only about 1.5% of companies that have applied to the Inc. list have achieved seven consecutive appearances.

Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 for seven consecutive years is a rare achievement that reflects sustained excellence in growth and execution. Because the list is based on rolling three-year revenue growth, companies must consistently deliver exceptional performance over nearly a decade while remaining privately held and meeting Inc.'s rigorous eligibility requirements. Many fast-growing companies eventually go public, are acquired, or experience slowing growth, making seven straight appearances an uncommon distinction.

For 2026, Inspire ranked 3,416 overall and 288th in the financial services industry, posting a 30% three-year revenue growth rate from 2022 to 2025.

"We're deeply grateful to God for His faithfulness throughout this journey and humbled to be recognized on the Inc. 5000 for a seventh consecutive year," said Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire. "This milestone reflects the trust our clients place in us, the dedication of our team, and a growing movement of investors and financial advisors who want their investments to honor God. We believe faithful stewardship extends beyond financial returns, and we remain committed to equipping believers with investment solutions that help them pursue both their financial goals and eternal impact."

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
