Exa Capital Named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exa Capital, the holding company dedicated to long-term stewardship of founder-led software businesses, is proud to announce its inclusion on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list – Inc. Magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. This milestone reflects Exa’s strong momentum, disciplined growth, and distinctive approach to business ownership that prioritizes preservation, performance, and people.

The Inc. 5000 list is one of the most prestigious honors for entrepreneurial success in America, spotlighting companies that demonstrate exceptional growth, innovation, and resilience. Alumni of this list include household names like Patagonia, Microsoft, and Intuit, demonstrating the caliber of companies recognized by Inc. historically. To earn a place on this year’s list, companies must demonstrate not only rapid revenue growth but also the ability to scale sustainably in a challenging economic landscape.

Founded with a clear mission to build enduring value rather than chasing short-term exits, Exa has quickly established itself as a standout player in the investment and business stewardship space. Unlike traditional private equity, Exa doesn’t flip companies, it partners with founders to preserve what they’ve built, offering operational support and strategic resources to help businesses grow with integrity. Over the past few years, Exa has expanded its portfolio, deepened its bench of experienced operators, and scaled its team – all while staying true to its founder-friendly principles.

“Our growth is a direct result of the trust placed in us by founders and the hard work of our exceptional team,” said Omer Sajid, CEO of Exa Capital. “Being named to the Inc. 5000 validates our belief that long-term stewardship is not only good business, but also sustainable, scalable, and deeply rewarding.”

With this recognition, Exa Capital joins a dynamic community of pioneers reshaping the future of vertical software companies. As Exa continues to grow, it remains committed to delivering value without compromise, and to standing by the founders who choose to build a legacy, not just an exit.
