With 276% three-year growth, Vestwell supports 750,000+ employers, 2.55M savers with a balance, and $56B+ in assets saved while powering over 40 government savings programs
NEW YORK, August 11, 2026 – Inc., the leading business media brand behind the annual Inc. 5000 ranking of America’s fastest-growing private companies, today announced that Vestwell is No. 1271 on the 2026 list. The Inc. 5000 highlights the most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses driving U.S. growth, with past honorees including Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
Vestwell by the numbers:
- 276% three-year revenue growth
- 750,000+ employers on the platform
- 2.55 million savers with a balance
- $56B+ in assets saved
- Over 40 government savings programs powered
- 20 languages supported across saver, employer, and advisor experiences
“Being recognized on the Inc. 5000 for the fifth consecutive year is a testament to the momentum we've built and the impact our team continues to make,” said Aaron Schumm, Founder and CEO of Vestwell. “Over the past year, we've expanded our reach to serve more than 750,000 employers, deepened partnerships with some of the world's leading organizations, and strengthened the technology powering workplace and government savings programs across the country. As more businesses, governments, and financial institutions look for modern savings infrastructure, we're focused on building solutions that make it easier for millions of Americans to save.”
Over the past year, Vestwell more than doubled the number of employers it serves to over 750,000, driven by strong organic growth and the acquisition of Accrue 401k, which expanded the company's workplace savings platform and capabilities. The company also raised $385 million in Series E funding to accelerate innovation and reintroduced its brand to better reflect its expanded mission, impact, and the businesses, advisors, and savers it serves.
As demand for modern savings infrastructure continues to grow, Vestwell is deepening its role as the technology backbone for workplace and government-sponsored savings programs. The company expanded enterprise partnerships with leading platforms, including Intuit QuickBooks, Carta, and Paylocity, enabling employers to offer savings solutions within the workflows they already use. Continuing to expand its suite of savings solutions, Vestwell will soon introduce a Trump Account employee match program, reinforcing its commitment to helping employees build long-term financial security for their families.
Vestwell also broadened its public-sector footprint, powering over 90% of state-facilitated retirement savings programs through partnerships and expansions, including RI Saves, Nevada's NEST, Minnesota Secure Choice, and Illinois Secure Choice, as well as a growing portfolio of 529 and ABLE programs. Together, these milestones highlight Vestwell's continued commitment to making saving and investing more accessible for businesses, workers, and families nationwide.
“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision-making, and a refusal to sit still,” said 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.”
Vestwell is continuing its rapid growth with further innovation and expansion across product development, engineering, sales, and marketing. The company’s momentum, reflected in its fifth consecutive appearance on the Inc. 5000, is creating new opportunities across the organization. Explore open roles at www.vestwell.com/careers.
