VG Makes Inc. Magazine’s 2025 Inc. 5000 List of Fastest Growing Private Companies in America
Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Verdical Group has joined this year’s list of Inc. 5000 honorees, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.
This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years. Verdical Group is ranked No. 3230 on the annual Inc. 5000 list and No. 165 in the Los Angeles Metro.

“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
“It’s been 13 years since the company was founded in 2012 and being named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America highlights our success in proving the philosophy that for-profit businesses can be a force for good,” said Verdical Group Founder & CEO, Drew Shula. “We’ve continued to grow through the years, and have been profitable every year we’ve been in business, while never sacrificing our commitments to doing business that is good for people and good for the environment.”
