TimelyCare, a virtual health and well-being provider in higher education, has earned a coveted spot on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the fourth consecutive year, a milestone achieved by fewer than 6% of honorees.

The Fort Worth-based company ranked No. 1,723 overall, 181 in Texas, and 74 in the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington area. TimelyCare partners with nearly 500 colleges and universities, empowering 3 million students nationwide with culturally competent, high-quality care accessible anytime, anywhere.

The company is one of 42 Fort Worth area businesses on the Inc. 5000 released this week. The Inc. 5000 rankings recognize the nation’s most dynamic and successful independent entrepreneurial businesses across a range of industries.

Fast-growing Varghese Summersett made a third appearance in its 11 years in business, and Fort Worth-based Valor, too, is a multiple-time honoree, making a third consecutive appearance.

“This milestone reflects the real impact we’re making. Every virtual visit represents a student getting care they may not have otherwise received,” said Luke Hejl, CEO and co-founder in a statement.

The Inc. 5000 recognizes the nation’s most dynamic and successful independent entrepreneurial businesses. Honorees this year collectively navigated economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and a shifting labor market while maintaining exceptional growth.

Companies on the 2025 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2021 to 2024. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies — as of Dec. 31, 2024. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2021 is $100,000; the minimum for 2024 is $2 million. (Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.)

TimelyCare’s ranking was based on 254% revenue growth. In 2025, the company expanded its offerings with a 24/7 telephone crisis line and personalized student engagement strategies, underscoring its commitment to innovation and equitable access.

My Container Rental represented Fort Worth’s highest-ranked business, coming in at No. 57 with a 4,757% three-year growth rate. Brabec Custom Homes of Aledo was 581st with a 713% growth rate.

Varghese Summersett ranked No. 1,306 overall with a three-year revenue growth of 335%. It placed 28th in the legal category and 55th in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and fifth among Texas-based law firms.

“We are honored to have made the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies for the third time in our 11-year history,” said founder and managing partner Benson Varghese. “We started as a criminal defense firm in a one-room office with $9,000 I borrowed from an uncle. Since then, we have expanded into family law and personal injury law, added three more locations, and now employ over 70 employees.”

Said co-owner and partner Anna Summersett: “Our growth is a direct reflection of the trust our clients place in us, the hard work of our team, and our unwavering commitment to doing what’s right — for our clients, for our firm family, and for our community.”

Texas is home to 519 companies on this year’s list, with a median growth rate of 181% and a combined $38 billion in revenue.

Valor, a Fort Worth-based tech-enabled professional services company specializing in oil and gas asset management, also earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 for the third consecutive year. CEO and co-founder Joseph DeWoody credited the recognition to the company’s dedication, innovation, and exceptional service to clients.

Valor’s mineral.tech® software integrates accounting, land management, data analytics, and reporting, and its back-office services support oil and gas operators and investors with owner relations, regulatory compliance, and accounting.

“These businesses didn’t just weather the storm — they grew through it,” said Inc. editor-in-chief Mike Hofman. “Their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
