With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 561 Percent, This Marks Esper’s Second Consecutive Time on the List
BELLEVUE, August 12, 2025 – Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Esper is No. 735 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, 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.
“Sustainable growth has always been the goal,” says Esper co-founder and CEO, Yadhu Gopalan. “And not just for us — but for our customers too. In today’s market, edge technology is necessary to stay competitive, and efficient device management solutions are that critical growth accelerator,” said Gopalan. “I’m also deeply grateful to our best-in-class technology partners and the Esper team for tackling tough challenges and fostering a culture of innovation — together, they helped us achieve over 500% growth, and in turn, support customer growth and resiliency in a rapidly changing economy.”
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.

“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.”
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.
