SaaS leader makes its third consecutive appearance on the Inc. 5000

Boston, August 12, 2025 – Appfire, a leading global provider of enterprise apps connecting the world's top platforms, today announced that it has been named to the annual Inc. 5000 list—a prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America—for the third year in a row. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.

In the past year, Appfire has accelerated its trajectory as a global software leader by advancing its enterprise strategy, expanding its product portfolio, and reinforcing its operational foundation. Appfire’s recent acquisition of Flow—a best-in-class Software Engineering Intelligence (SEI) platform—marked a strategic move to deepen engagement with engineering teams and broaden the company’s direct sales capabilities alongside its established channel-first model. The company expanded its AI footprint with secure, embedded features across key products and delivered new integrations that enhanced visibility and efficiency for enterprise teams. With the launch of the Cloud Advantage Alliance, Appfire strengthened its leadership in Atlassian cloud upgrades while continuing to scale its global partner network.

“This recognition is more than a milestone—it’s proof that a steadfast focus on resilience, intention, and culture can fuel sustained success,” said Matt Dircks, CEO of Appfire. “In a time of constant change and uncertainty, we’re scaling with purpose—expanding our enterprise capabilities, leaning into AI and cloud innovation, and doing so without losing sight of who we are. This growth isn’t accidental; it’s the result of deliberate choices to build a durable, high-performing business that strikes the right balance between transformation and our core competencies.”

“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”

Operationally, Appfire achieved SOC 2 Type II certification with zero exceptions, introduced a Customer Success function, and continues to grow organically and through acquisition, operating across 28 countries. Appfire continues to be recognized with multiple awards for community impact, demonstrating the agility and discipline required to lead through change and deliver long-term, sustainable value for customers and partners.
