Percent Named to Inc. 5000's List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies for Third Consecutive Year, Ranking #85

Driven by 70% revenue growth and $1.5+ billion in transactions, Percent sets a new benchmark in private credit.

NEW YORK, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Percent, the platform powering the modern credit marketplace, today announced the company's recognition on the Inc. 5000 Regionals: Northeast list for the third consecutive year. Fueled by a two-year revenue growth of 70%, Percent ranked #85 out of 154 fast-growing companies in the northeast region, up from #175 in 2024.

This recognition comes amidst significant growth for Percent, which saw $125.2 million funded across 65 deals, with a 16.2% current weighted average coupon rate and a weighted average investment term of 12.4 months so far in 2025. This represents a 41.3% growth in deal count and a 69.7% growth in issuance volume compared to the same period last year. This volume was on the back of a strong presence in the lender finance and asset-based securities vertical, which represented 81.0% of all deal activity on the platform this last quarter. This strong performance bolsters the company's historical performance, which has seen 590 deals fully repaid, totaling over $1.1B in principal returned and $59.8M in interest paid to investors who previously had limited access to the private credit asset class.

"At Percent, growth and innovation aren't just goals – they define how we operate. Our recent achievements are a testament to our team's dedication and the transformative impact we're making in private credit," said Nelson Chu, Founder and CEO of Percent. "We are proud that our investors are seeing not just innovation but results in the form of diverse, short-duration investments that offer more control, transparency and recurring income. By building a smarter, more accessible marketplace, we're equipping investors to navigate uncertainty with new opportunities, all while delivering transparency and efficiency to borrowers and underwriters. Percent is setting a new standard for the future of private credit."

The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Northeast. Between 2021 and 2023, these 154 private companies had a median growth rate of 100 percent; by 2023, they'd also added 9,114 jobs and $6.7 billion to the region's economy.

"The honorees on this year's Inc. Regionals list are true trailblazers driving economic growth in their respective regions, industries and beyond. This list celebrates their achievements and tells the stories of remarkable companies that are fueling growth and adding jobs in local economies throughout the country," said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc.

Methodology
The 2025 Inc. Regionals are ranked according to percentage revenue growth over two years. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, a number of companies on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2021 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $1 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.
