Inc. Magazine has unveiled its 2024 list of the fastest-growing companies in the Southwest, and 45 North Texas companies are honorees—with two cracking the Top 10 and one making the Top 3.

The 2025 Inc. 5000 Regionals: Southwest list features a total of 137 companies from Texas, Oklahoma, and Arizona.

Companies on the lists are ranked according to their percentage revenue growth over two years, from 2021 to 2023. To qualify, they must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021, and must be based in the U.S., privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. Minimum revenue requirements are $100,000 for 2021 and $1 million for 2023. All honorees were required to pass Inc.’s editorial review. 

“The honorees on this year’s Inc. Regionals list are true trailblazers driving economic growth in their respective regions, industries, and beyond,” Inc. Editorial Director Bonny Ghosh said in a statement. “This list celebrates their achievements and tells the stories of remarkable companies that are fueling growth and adding jobs in local economies throughout the country.”
