DALLAS, April 1, 2025—Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today revealed that Vivant is No.85 on its fifth annual Inc. Regionals: Southwest list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the Southwest, which includes Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. An extension of the national Inc. 5000 list, the Regionals offer a unique look at the most successful companies within the Southwest economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.
“Being named one of the fastest-growing companies in the Southwest is an honor that reflects the trust our customers place in us every day,” said Vivant founder and CEO Hamed Mazrouei. “At Vivant, we’re not chasing growth for its own sake—we’re driven by our commitment to keep businesses connected, no matter what.”
He goes on, “Many of our customers have been with us for years, and their loyalty has fueled our journey. We’re grateful for their partnership and proud to stand alongside them, ensuring they have the reliable internet solutions they need to grow and thrive.”
The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Southwest. Between 2021 and 2023, these 137 private companies had a median growth rate of 106 percent; by 2023, they’d also added 13,809 jobs and $15.9 billion to the region’s economy.
