ATLANTA, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc., the leading media brand for entrepreneurs and business leaders, today announced that SmartPath, a nationally recognized provider of financial education, has once again earned a place on the Inc. 5000, the definitive ranking of America's fastest-growing private companies.

"This recognition isn't just about growth. It's about momentum," says SmartPath CEO and Co-Founder, Alok Deshpande. "For three straight years, we've proven that a mission-driven business can scale without compromising its values. Our work is about empowering people to make confident, informed financial decisions, and that mission is more relevant now than ever."

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.

"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."
