August 12th, 2025 – Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that demandDrive placed no. 2,561 on the Inc. 5000, 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.

“Honored to be named to the Inc. 5000 for the 8th year in a row! This recognition is a testament to our amazing team and the trust our clients place in us. Our integrated revenue development programs are helping leading B2B tech, healthcare, and manufacturing organizations grow further, and we can’t wait to show what’s on the roadmap for the year ahead!”

— Lindsay Frey – Co-Founder and CEO, demandDrive

Being named to the Inc. 5000 for the eighth year running is more than just a milestone, it’s proof that the ride has been worth every twist and turn. Over the past year, we’ve pushed limits, embraced change, and strengthened the things that set us apart. Here’s the highlight reel:

1. Alignment & Culture

This year, we locked in tighter alignment across teams, bringing previously separate groups under one shared vision. Our culture – built organically by bringing the right people together – remains the cornerstone of our success. No gimmicks, just genuine connection fueling big wins.

2. Differentiated Market Positioning

As our clients’ needs evolve, so do we. Today, we’re more than service providers – we’re strategic partners, building and managing full revenue engines from the ground up. Systems, processes, execution – you name it, we do it.

3. Innovation & Tech-Forward Ethos

With a commitment to blending specialized knowledge with emerging technologies, demandDrive is embracing a tech-forward ethos. We’re integrating AI, advanced analytics, and human expertise to deliver scalable growth solutions.

4. Client Impact & Quality Wins

Our service quality continues to open doors – and keep them open. Ensuring the success and growth of our clients is paramount to our continued success. Clients love the simplicity (and performance) of having a single partner manage their go-to-market function. Their growth = our growth.

5. Growth in Challenging Markets

While budgets tightened across the industry, our growth stayed strong. We see massive opportunity ahead – both in the market and within our existing client base – and we’re ready to seize it.

These strengths have us charging into the future with confidence, ready to help more organizations achieve extraordinary growth and to welcome exceptional talent to our winning team.

“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, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “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.” 

Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
