SmartFinancial, a digital insurance marketplace, landed at No. 2,384 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list after posting 140% revenue growth over three years, the company announced Tuesday.

“Being named to the Inc. 5000 is an incredible milestone, especially 15 years into our journey,” said Lev Barinskiy, CEO and co-founder. “What makes this recognition most meaningful is that we continue to evolve, innovate, and accelerate as a company. It's a testament to the incredible team we've built and the trust of our clients and partners.”
The Inc. 5000 ranks the fastest-growing private U.S. companies by percentage revenue growth from 2022 to 2025. The median growth rate among this year's honorees was 130%, and the 5,000 companies collectively added more than 627,000 jobs over the three-year period, Inc. said. To qualify, companies must be privately held, for-profit and independent, with at least $100,000 in 2022 revenue and $2 million in 2025 revenue.
