NEW YORK, August 13, 2024 – Inc. revealed today that Wisetack ranks No. 21 on the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses.
Wisetack provides simple, transparent financing and consumers can check their options in under a minute with no impact to their credit score. Wisetack’s strong three-year growth rate was driven by its embedded payments network, which includes tens of thousands of merchants across home services, dental, and auto repair; tens of thousands of consumers who have financed services through Wisetack; software platforms that embed Wisetack into the tools merchants use to run their business; and bank lending partners CitizensPay and Hatch Bank.
“Our mission has always been to simplify and enhance the financing experience, and this ranking validates that the marketplace was looking for a solution like Wisetack,” said Bobby Tzekin, CEO and Co-founder of Wisetack. “As we continue to grow, we remain focused on delivering exceptional value, and are also committed to responsible growth.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
“To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”

Methodology
Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
