HVN Named No. 77 Fastest-Growing Private Company in America on the Inc. 5000

Inc. revealed today that HVN Travel Group, the leading home and villa rental platform for professional trip designers, has been named to the Top 100 on the 2023 Inc. 5000, the most prestigious list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Ranking #77 overall, HVN’s 6,057% three-year revenue growth placed the company at the top of the travel and hospitality category—an achievement made all the more extraordinary as the company’s rapid growth has been driven entirely by word-of-mouth as HVN has quietly built what the travel trade is calling "The Professional Alternative to Airbnb."

“HVN is honored to be recognized by Inc. as one of America’s most promising private companies and as the fastest-growing accommodations marketplace on this year’s list,” said Jason Paez, Co-Founder & CEO of HVN Travel Group. “The past two years have been transformative for HVN. Going from our private launch at the beginning of the pandemic to #77 on the Inc. 5000 is a testament to the incredible demand for a better home rental experience and the innovative technology our team has built to empower trip designers in this uniquely complex and dynamic category.”

Inc. 5000 honorees represent the top .07% of growing companies in America, with the ranking providing a data-driven look at the most successful private companies in the country. HVN’s inclusion in the Top 100 of the 2023 cohort places it in an even more rarefied group of family-led businesses who have rapidly scaled without raising venture capital.

"The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated," says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today."

HVN’s inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list comes at a meaningful inflection point for the company, which currently operates across 96 global destinations (unique countries and states). Through its award-winning booking portal and 360° TripDesign™ technology, HVN combines the best of hospitality and home into one-of-a-kind stays worldwide, and seeks to revolutionize the travel landscape by generating seamless on-demand access to personalized residential experiences and hospitality services, at every price point, everywhere in the world.

As part of scaling towards this vision, the company recently announced new additions to its team, including Bobby Gibson (founder of Travel Keys sold to Accor and former CEO of onefinestay at Accor), Simon Lehmann (founder of AJL Atelier and former Board Member of Homeaway through its $3.9BN sale to Expedia), and Stuart Greif (Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy, Innovation & Operating Officer, Forbes Travel Guide) as investors and advisors in HVN. 

“We are grateful to our community of professional trip designers, property managers, and experience providers who make all of this possible,” said Megan Partridge, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer of HVN. “Together, we have already helped tens of thousands of travelers feel at home in the world with HVN, building the foundations for a new era of creativity, connectivity, and personalization in travel. The story of HVN is only just beginning, and we couldn’t be more excited for the future."
