Gabb®, the leading provider of safe technology for kids and teens, has been acknowledged on the 43^rd annual Inc. 5000 list as the 494^th fastest growing private company based on 3-year revenue growth of 895% from 2020 to 2023.

The annual Inc. 5000 is the most respected ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The 2024 list represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Over the past three years, the 2024 Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the U.S. economy.

“Gabb’s exponential growth underscores the giant need to protect our children from the dangers and addictions of social media and online activities that not only expose them to online predators but are also crushing their mental health,” said Gabb CEO Nate Randle. “I’m proud of the work Gabb is accomplishing to give children a safe and fun environment for learning to responsibly communicate with friends and family while also providing parents tools to monitor and manage their children’s interactions online.”

Gabb is the creator of the Tech-in-Steps approach to providing children with the tools they need to gain progressively more technology access as they grow, as opposed to the traditional method of jumping directly from kid-safe devices to full smartphones equipped with limits that are insufficient and far too easy for tweens and teens to get past.

“The tremendous growth acknowledged by our Inc. 5000 ranking is the direct result of the giant and growing challenge our devices address,” Randle continued. “However, there is much work still to be done. As a mission-driven company, we’ll continue our efforts to help parents keep every child and teen safe from predators and the negative pressures that arise from social media and too much time and access online.”

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” said Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruptions we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”
