Steadily Ranks No. 179 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List, Its Second Consecutive Year Among America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies

Austin, TX (August 11, 2026) – Steadily, a leading provider of landlord insurance in the U.S., has been ranked No. 179 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. It is the company's second straight appearance on the list, following its debut at No. 63 in 2025.

This list, done every year in August, is a prestigious ranking of the nation's most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses who have achieved remarkable growth, innovation and job creation. Past honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle and Patagonia.

Steadily's rankings include:

• No. 179 overall out of 5,000 companies, placing it in the top 4% for the second year in a row
• No. 8 among insurance companies
• No. 24 among all companies based in Texas
• No. 9 in the Austin-Round Rock metro area

Repeating on the Inc. 5000 is a different problem than making it once. The list measures three-year revenue growth, and the measurement window advances every year. For the 2026 list, the base year is 2022, a year in which Steadily had already grown substantially. Every company that returns to the list has to compound off a larger number than the one that got it there the first time.

Steadily serves the 18 million individual rental property owners who collectively own the overwhelming majority of single-family rentals in the U.S. Since launching in 2020, it has become one of the fastest and most affordable insurance options for real estate investors nationwide.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”

Steadily serves policyholders in all fifty states with coverage options built for nearly any landlord. Its programs include Steadily Insurance Company, an A-rated insurance carrier, five MGA programs, and a large insurance agency. Steadily has become a default choice for modern landlords, and the Inc. 5000 ranking reflects both the pace of that growth and the value it delivers to property owners.

Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine. Tickets are on sale now.
