NEW YORK, August 12, 2025 – Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that OptiFunder is No. 4429 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.
“Making the Inc. 5000 list for the third year in a row is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and resilience of the OptiFunder team,” said Michael McFadden, CEO of OptiFunder. “To achieve this level of growth in one of the most challenging mortgage markets we’ve seen speaks volumes about the value we’re delivering to our clients and the strength of our solutions. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built - and where we’re headed.”
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.

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.”
