OULA RANKS 21 ON THE 2025 INC. 5000 LIST OF AMERICA'S FASTEST-GROWING PRIVATE COMPANIES

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oula, the maternity care practice offering prenatal care, hospital birth, postpartum support, and gynecology, is ranked No. 21 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The annual list, compiled by Inc. magazine, provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment: independent, entrepreneurial businesses.

Oula's research-backed approach combines the best of midwifery and obstetrics to support individuals' physical, mental, and emotional needs before, during, and after pregnancy. This is driving best-in-class outcomes, including fewer C-sections and higher VBAC success rates. With welcoming clinics, virtual support, and expert resources that are all covered by insurance.

"We are parents, clinicians, and public health experts who see the gaps in the typical approach to maternity care. We set out to build a better maternity care experience, one rooted in research, comprehensive care, and compassion, and we are doing that. We are delivering significantly better care and outcomes," says Adrianne Nickerson, co-founder and CEO of Oula. "This recognition of our success from a business perspective confirms that we are delivering the type of care women are demanding and the growing interest in midwifery."

This achievement comes as Oula prepares to expand beyond New York, with the opening of Oula provided by Stamford Health in Norwalk, Connecticut. This will be Stamford Health's first-ever midwifery offering. Since opening in 2021, Oula has delivered 2,200+ babies and exceeded New York City maternity benchmarks, across race and payer type. Oula's expansion reflects the company's mission to make midwifery care accessible to more families.

The 2025 Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth despite economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and a shifting labor market. Among the top 500 companies, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, with companies collectively adding 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. For the full list, company profiles, and a searchable database by industry and location, visit: www.inc.com/inc5000.
