NEW YORK, August 12, 2025 – Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Top Line Growth Partners is No. 2,456 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.  

  

Tom Corbitt, Founder and CEO said, "We are absolutely thrilled to be recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for the third consecutive year. I’m so thankful to lead an incredible team that’s relentlessly focused on leadership, sales, and talent both inside Top Line and at our client companies.  Each consecutive year we’re able to grow faster than 99.5% of the other privately held companies in America requires a great team, a little bit of luck, and a lot of other things to go right. Consistently scaling, innovating, and evolving those ‘other things’ increases the likelihood of strong growth year after year.   While there’s never been a more challenging time to navigate the tidal waves of disruptors in the macro environment, I couldn’t be more excited about the possibilities to continue helping our clients and Top Line grow and thrive together in the coming years.”
