We Made the Inc. 5000! What This Means for Us — And for Business With Purpose

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news: CapEQ™ has been named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies!

This isn’t just about growth for growth’s sake. For me, this recognition is proof of something I’ve believed — and bet my career on — that businesses truly can do well by doing good. Our success is directly tied to the outcomes we’ve achieved with our clients, and that’s what makes this moment so meaningful.

At CapEQ, we bring what I like to call a moonshot mindset: ambitious goals paired with discipline and process. Over the past decade, we’ve worked with leaders across industries to ensure social impact is not a side hustle, but the main course of their business and investment strategies. When social impact is integrated into the heart of operations, it drives authenticity, customer trust, and financial performance.

What We’ve Achieved Together

This honor is really about what we’ve built with you. Together, we’ve:

• Grown revenue by more than $500 million for clients who aligned business strategy with social impact.
• Influenced over $3 trillion in assets under management, expanding how capital is deployed to close racial and economic gaps.
• Increased wages by $81 million and helped secure 2,000 jobs for low-income residents and 100,000+ credentials earned — concrete steps toward economic mobility.
• Improved job quality and retention by rethinking policies, training, and pathways for advancement.
• Future proofing supply chains by helping companies intentionally award billions in procurement contracts to resilient suppliers.

These numbers are powerful, but what they really represent are businesses thriving, careers advanced, and communities strengthened. That’s the work that fuels me.

Looking Ahead

Being named to the Inc. 5000 is a milestone, but it’s not the finish line. The real story is what’s ahead: building a future where impact-centered strategies aren’t the exception — they’re the standard for competitiveness and growth.

That’s what I dig into in my book, The Social Impact Advantage. It’s about equipping leaders with the mindset and practical tools to prove that profit and purpose not only coexist, but amplify each other.

I want to thank you for being such an important part of this journey. None of this happens without partners who are willing to take risks, challenge norms, and believe in the power of business to change the world.

We’ve come this far together — and the best is still ahead.
