The company reported an average growth rate of 59% from 2021 to 2024—making it the 10th fastest-growing South Dakota company featured.
Sioux Falls, SD, August 12, 2025 – MarketBeat, a leading source for stock market research tools and analysis, has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing privately held companies for the 10th consecutive year. MarketBeat ranks No. 4809 on the 2025 list, joining fewer than 1% of Inc. 5000 companies that achieve a decade-long streak.
"Ten straight years on the Inc. 5000 proves that consistency compounds," said Matt Paulson, Founder and CEO. "We keep showing up, measuring what works, and doubling down on our proven growth strategies. What makes this recognition meaningful is that it reflects long-term momentum, not just a lucky year. We’re building a business that lasts, not just one that grows fast."
MarketBeat's sustained success demonstrates that geography doesn't limit digital ambition. From its Sioux Falls headquarters, the company has built a national financial media brand that reaches millions of investors daily.
"Our ten-year streak demonstrates that innovation and growth aren't confined to the coasts," Paulson noted. "We've built a national financial media brand from South Dakota by focusing on what actually matters: understanding our customers, mastering digital marketing channels, and building a sustainable business."
The company's core business is on pace to reach $45 million in revenue this year, driven by explosive growth across multiple channels. MarketBeat's flagship email newsletter is projected to surpass 6 million subscribers by year's end, with the company's YouTube channel having more than 260,000 subscribers and its SMS audience reaching 360,000 subscribers.
MarketBeat's decade-long streak reflects more than just financial growth—it showcases the company's ability to adapt and thrive through constant digital transformation.
"Ten years on the Inc. 5000 proves that in digital marketing, the only constant is change," Paulson explained. "We've thrived because we treat every channel, every algorithm update, and every new platform as an opportunity to get better. Consistency isn't about doing the same thing—it's about consistently evolving, consistently testing, and consistently outmaneuvering the competition."
The recognition comes as MarketBeat continues expanding its suite of financial research tools and educational content, serving both individual investors and financial professionals with real-time market data, analysis, and portfolio management resources.
