“Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 is a meaningful milestone for Energize and a reflection of the trust our clients place in us,” said David Steifman, co-founder of Energize Marketing. “Our growth has been powered by an exceptional team and a shared commitment to helping B2B technology marketers reach real buyers, build authority, and turn engagement into measurable pipeline. We are proud of what we have built together and excited about the momentum ahead.”

Today, its integrated ecosystem reaches more than 25 million verified IT and business decision-makers worldwide through EnergizeDB^®, TechResources™, TechStudio™, TechTalks™, TechEvents™, and the TechChannels™ media network.

Their trust, combined with the expertise, creativity, and accountability of our team, continues to power our momentum.”

This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
