ALOHA Ranks No. 796 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies: With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 530% Percent, This Marks ALOHA’s Second Time on the List, Jumping Up More Than 200 Spots Since 2024

Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, this week announced that ALOHA is No. 796 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia. 

ALOHA, an employee-owned, award-winning B Corp and Climate Neutral Certified plant-based protein brand, had a breakout year in 2024—surpassing $100M+ revenue, securing a $68 million secondary market transaction from SEMCAP Food & Nutrition, and extending its reach into the mainline grocery aisle, including a highly-successful launch at Target followed closely by a national rollout. With just 27 full-time employees, the brand has seen nearly triple-digit growth for six consecutive years and remains the #1 growth contributor to the category in the US Natural Channel, the top-selling bar at Thrive Market and Vitacost, the best-selling bar on Amazon in the high-protein category. ALOHA was also named one of Bain & Company’s Insurgent Brands for 2025. 

“We’re not just selling clean, delicious protein; we’re building something bigger—rooted in holistic nutrition, transparency, integrity, and impact,” said Brad Charron, CEO of ALOHA. “Climbing higher on the Inc. 5000 list is meaningful, but what matters most is growing with purpose, staying true to our values, and making a positive impact on the planet and the communities that sustain us. That’s what wins in the long run.”

ALOHA’s growth is rooted in both its commitment to sustainable, plant-based nutrition and its exceptionally delicious and craveable food design. Taste and texture still rule supreme when it comes to segmenting winning brands from the rest of the competition. At the same time, the Aloha brand champions ingredient transparency and environmental responsibility. Its Hawai’i special-edition bar series, including the Kona,  Pa’akai, and Taro Bars, highlights local regenerative agriculture, featuring island-grown ingredients, supporting communities that cultivate the Aloha heritage. As the company continues to scale, it remains committed to deepening partnerships with local farmers, sourcing more regenerative ingredients, and investing further in initiatives that give back to island communities. 

This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added 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.”
