Directed IRA Makes Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies for the Third Consecutive Year. With three-year revenue growth of 380%, Directed IRA solidifies its position as the fastest-growing company empowering private assets and retirement accounts.
PHOENIX, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For the third consecutive year, Directed IRA has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Compiled annually by Inc., this prestigious ranking provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses across the U.S.
To qualify for the Inc. 5000, companies must be U.S.-based, privately held, and have generated at least $2 million in revenue the previous year. Past honorees include 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," said 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."
Directed IRA Is Tapping into Investor Demand for Alternative Assets in Retirement Accounts
As more Americans move beyond stocks and mutual funds in search of greater control and long-term growth, Directed IRA has emerged as the trusted platform for investing retirement dollars into real estate, private funds, startups, crypto, and other non-publicly traded assets.
"This award reflects our execution, our innovation, and the confidence our clients place in us every day," said Mat Sorensen, CEO of Directed IRA. "And as a retirement account custodian with over $3B in alternative assets held by IRAs and 401(k)s, we know that investors are hungry for more investment opportunities than the stock market. We are answering that demand with a wide array of account options, open-architecture investment capability, industry-leading education, and secure and intuitive technology—all powered by an incredible team."
