Cognosos Ranks No. 808 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

August 12, 2025 at 09:00 AM EDT

With its expanding three-year revenue growth, Cognosos moves up the list from No. 1527 in 2024 and No. 2200 in 2023.

Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Cognosos is No. 808 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. 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.

"Cognosos making the Inc. 5000 list is a tremendous honor and a direct reflection of the incredible hard work and dedication of our entire team,” said Joe De Pinho, chief executive officer at Cognosos. “This is for every single employee who has contributed to our growth. We're grateful for this recognition and are even more motivated to continue our rapid growth."

This distinction comes on the heels of Cognosos’ July acquisition of Cox 2M, the connected asset tracking and IoT business founded by Cox Communications. Through the acquisition, Cognosos gains new technical capabilities, including advanced vehicle telemetry and on-board diagnostics to bring end-to-end visibility to customers’ vehicles throughout production from quality staging to dealer and customer delivery. This announcement continues a busy 2025 for Cognosos, which also saw the company expand its executive team through the hiring of Chief Technology Officer, Michael Finnegan.

This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“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.”

Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.

Methodology

Companies on the 2025 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2021 to 2024. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2024.
