Forbes Names Steadily to America’s Best Startup Employers List for Second Year in a Row, No. 16

Austin, TX, March 6, 2026 — Steadily, a technology-driven landlord insurance company, has been named to the Forbes Best Startup Employers in America list for the second consecutive year, ranking #16 in the country.

The recognition places Steadily among the top startup companies in the United States as measured by employee satisfaction, workplace culture, and employer reputation — and marks a continued upward trajectory on the list year over year.

The Forbes ranking is produced in partnership with Statista, the global market research firm. Methodology draws on direct employee surveys alongside employer reputation signals aggregated from professional networks and workplace review platforms.

Eligibility requires companies to be U.S.-headquartered, independently operating, founded within the past decade, and employing a minimum of 50 people. Thousands of startups are assessed each cycle; fewer than 500 are named to the final list.

Steadily is actively hiring at its offices in Austin, TX and the Kansas City metro area (Overland Park, KS).

Recognition amid rapid growth

The back-to-back Forbes recognition comes at a period of significant expansion for Steadily. In 2024, the company was ranked #63 on the Inc 5000 list of the fastest growing startups in America — one of the most prominent growth rankings in the country.

Sustaining a high-caliber workplace culture during a period of rapid scaling is among the most significant operational challenges a startup faces. Maintaining employee satisfaction — and improving standing on an employer ranking — while simultaneously expanding headcount, adding new markets, and growing partnerships across the real estate industry reflects a deliberate approach to company building at Steadily.

The company has grown its presence across two primary office locations: its headquarters in Austin, TX, and its office in the Kansas City metro area (Overland Park, KS), with teams spanning engineering, operations, sales, partnerships, and marketing.

About the Forbes Best Startup Employers list

The Forbes Best Startup Employers in America ranking identifies the startup companies that employees most recommend as exceptional places to work.

Unlike self-nominated awards programs, the Forbes list is driven by independent employee feedback and third-party reputation data — making it a credible, externally validated measure of workplace quality.

The list is among the most referenced employer rankings for the U.S. startup ecosystem and is widely cited by candidates evaluating top startup companies to work for in the US.
