We're proud to announce that EMT Holdings has been named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list. This recognition represents more than just another accolade—it's validation of our team's exceptional work and our clients' trust in us over the past three years.
Since this achievement reflects our entire organization's efforts, we want to share what this prestigious recognition actually means and why it matters for our continued growth.
What is the Inc. 5000 List?
Think of the Inc. 5000 list as the Olympics of American business growth. Published annually by Inc. Magazine, this list ranks the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in America based on their percentage revenue growth over a three-year period. It's not about being the biggest company: it’s about demonstrating exceptional, sustained growth in a competitive marketplace.
Past honorees include household names that started as small businesses: Microsoft, Meta, Zappos, and Chobani—companies that have gone on to become business icons. The list has been around for nearly 40 years and represents the backbone of American entrepreneurship and innovation.
Getting on the Inc. 5000 list is data-driven. Companies are ranked according to percentage revenue growth over a three-year period, with strict qualification criteria.
The Requirements for the 2025 List:
Must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021
Must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent
Minimum revenue of $100,000 in 2021 and $2 million in 2024
The ranking is based on percentage revenue growth over a three-year period. The median revenue growth rate for 2025 honorees was 169%, achieved during tremendous economic challenges.
EMT Holdings achieved a three-year growth rate of 938%, a result we can attribute directly to our dedicated team members, clients, and partners.
The Leadership Behind Our Success
Our growth stems from the strategic guidance and daily commitment of our leadership team:
Marcus Treiber, Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Jennifer Boaz, President, Investigative Services Division
Meekail Shaheed, Vice President, Recruiting and Logistics
Lauren Parker, Vice President, Program Development
Leah Metcalf, Director, Contractor Engagement
Hannah Waldrop, Director, Contractor Development
Each brings a unique expertise that has shaped our trajectory—from navigating complex government contracts to scaling our technology infrastructure, from building our investigative services division to fostering a culture of excellence. These leaders have been the driving force behind our Inc. 5000 recognition, with their combined experience spanning decades in government service, private sector innovation, and entrepreneurial ventures.
Their leadership gives us exactly what we need to thrive in today's competitive landscape, with a focus on building a sustainable organization centered on quality and client success.
Gratitude to Our Clients
This achievement belongs equally to our clients who have trusted us with their most critical needs. From government agencies requiring meticulous background investigations to private sector organizations seeking reliable IT solutions, our clients have provided opportunities to grow while challenging us to continuously improve and innovate.
Their feedback has shaped our services, sustained our growth, and opened new doors. The Inc. 5000 recognition testifies as much to the strong partnerships we've built as to our internal capabilities. We sincerely thank each client who chose EMT Holdings—this success is shared.
What Sets EMT Holdings Apart
So why did we make the cut? Our success stems from a diversified approach that spans investigative services, communication solutions, and IT infrastructure support across multiple markets. We've built strong credibility in government contracting while experiencing explosive growth in our Investigative Services division, where we're actively hiring Background Investigators nationwide. By integrating technology throughout our operations, we've been able to scale efficiently while maintaining the quality our clients expect.
Why This Recognition Matters Now
This year's Inc. 5000 honorees demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Making the list in 2025 is particularly significant because it shows that we were able to thrive in the midst of some challenging conditions.
We're excited to build on this momentum by growing our investigative services nationwide while exploring new ways to serve both government and private sector clients with the same commitment to excellence that brought us here.
The Inc. 5000 recognition marks not an endpoint, but a milestone in our ongoing mission to deliver exceptional service across all our divisions while maintaining the trust and partnerships that make our success possible.
Until next time,
The EMT Team
