Steadily ranks No. 179 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, its second consecutive year among America's fastest-growing private companies. Jeremy Layton Insurance Content Editor August 11, 2026 Austin, TX (August 11, 2026) - Steadily, a leading provider of landlord insurance in the U.S., has been ranked No. 179 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. It is the company's second straight appearance on the list, following its debut at No. 63 in 2025. This list, done every year in August, is a prestigious ranking of the nation's most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses who have achieved remarkable growth, innovation and job creation. Past honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle and Patagonia. Steadily's rankings include: * No. 179 overall out of 5,000 companies, placing it in the top 4% for the second year in a row * No. 8 among insurance companies * No. 24 among all companies based in Texas * No. 9 in the Austin-Round Rock metro area Repeating on the Inc. 5000 is a different problem than making it once. The list measures three-year revenue growth, and the measurement window advances every year. For the 2026 list, the base year is 2022, a year in which Steadily had already grown substantially. Every company that returns to the list has to compound off a larger number than the one that got it there the first time. Steadily serves the 18 million individual rental property owners who collectively own the overwhelming majority of single-family rentals in the U.S. Since launching in 2020, it has become one of the fastest and most affordable insurance options for real estate investors nationwide. "Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance-it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement." Steadily serves policyholders in all fifty states with coverage options built for nearly any landlord. Its programs include Steadily Insurance Company, an A-rated insurance carrier, five MGA programs, and a large insurance agency. Steadily has become a default choice for modern landlords, and the Inc. 5000 ranking reflects both the pace of that growth and the value it delivers to property owners. Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14-16 in Dallas, Texas and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine.

Exciting news: Ariana Insurance now offers two powerful property insurance carriers, Openly and Steadily. Arlington, VA - At Ariana Insurance, Arianainsurance is always looking for ways to better serve its clients across Northern Virginia and beyond. That's why Arianainsurance is thrilled to announce that Arianainsurance has added two outstanding property insurance carriers to its lineup: Steadily for rental property owners and landlords, and Openly for homeowners seeking premium, flexible coverage. Whether you own a rental home, host guests on Airbnb, or simply want the best protection for the place you call home, Arianainsurance now have solutions built specifically for you. Steadily: purpose-built insurance for Landlords and rental property owners. If you own rental property - whether it's a long-term rental, a short-term Airbnb or VRBO listing, a multi-family unit, or a condo - you already know that a standard homeowners insurance policy simply doesn't cut it. That's where Steadily comes in. Steadily is a specialized insurance company built from the ground up for landlords and real estate investors. Founded in 2020 and designed by landlords, for landlords, Steadily has quickly become one of the most respected names in rental property insurance. CNBC recently named Steadily one of the Best Landlord Insurance Companies of 2026, and Investopedia echoed that recognition - a testament to the company's commitment to protecting property owners like you. What makes Steadily different? Most insurance carriers treat rental properties as an afterthought. Steadily does the opposite - it's their entire focus. Here's what that means for you as a landlord: Coverage designed for how you actually rent. Steadily covers a wide variety of property types, including: * Single-family rental homes * Multi-family properties * Condos and townhomes * Short-term vacation rentals (Airbnb, VRBO) * Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) * Properties currently under renovation Comprehensive protection against real landlord risks, including: * Structural fire and smoke damage * Wind, hail, and storm damage * Vandalism and tenant-caused damage * Riot and civil commotion * Loss of rental income while repairs are underway * Liability coverage if a tenant or guest is injured at the property and files a lawsuit - covering medical bills, attorney fees, and any settlement Special protections for short-term rental hosts. If you're listing your property on Airbnb or VRBO, you face unique risks that traditional policies ignore. Steadily is one of the few carriers that truly understands the short-term rental market and offers coverage options tailored to those risks. Fast, modern, and flexible. Steadily's technology-driven platform can generate quotes in seconds. Once you enter a property address, it automatically pulls public property data to streamline the process. Policies can be customized to fit your budget - you choose the coverages you need without paying for what you don't. Whether you're a first-time landlord with a single rental property or a seasoned investor managing a large portfolio, Steadily scales to meet your needs. And with coverage available in all 50 states, it's a carrier built for the modern real estate investor. Openly: premium homeowners insurance for the coverage you deserve. For homeowners who want more than just a bare-bones policy, Openly is a breath of fresh air. Openly offers flexible, transparent homeowners insurance with coverage options that put you firmly in control - and their headline feature is one that every homeowner should know about: Guaranteed Replacement Cost. What is Guaranteed Replacement Cost - and why does it matter? Most standard homeowners policies cover your home up to a set dollar limit. But what happens if the cost to rebuild after a total loss - due to fire, a storm, or another disaster - exceeds that limit? With a traditional policy, you could be left holding the bill for the difference. Openly's Guaranteed Replacement Cost coverage eliminates that worry. If your home is destroyed, Openly covers the full cost to rebuild it - even if that cost exceeds your original policy limits. In an era of rising construction costs and labor shortages, this protection is more valuable than ever. What Openly covers. Openly's policies are designed to be comprehensive, customizable, and clear. Here are some of the highlights: * Guaranteed Replacement Cost up to $5 million for your home's structure * Liability protection up to $1 million - covering personal injury, bodily injury, and property damage claims * Blanket personal property coverage up to $100,000 with a zero-deductible option * Mold and fungi remediation up to $10,000, with liability coverage up to $50,000 * Water seepage coverage up to $20,000 for concealed leaks * Other structures coverage for garages, sheds, fences, and pools * Refrigerated property protection up to $5,000 * Tree removal coverage up to $5,000 per occurrence * Water backup and equipment breakdown add-on options * Home-sharing coverage for homeowners who occasionally rent out their space short-term Openly also covers primary residences, secondary and seasonal homes, and even properties rented to others - giving you flexibility as your life and property needs evolve. Financial strength you can count on. Openly's carrier partners carry AM Best ratings of A and A- (Excellent), meaning you can trust that claims will be paid promptly and reliably. When something goes wrong with your home, the last thing you need is an insurer that drags its feet. A claims experience that's actually easy. Openly has built its claims process to be as straightforward as possible. Their team is known for compassionate, expert guidance through every step, so you're never left wondering what happens next. Why choose Ariana Insurance? At Ariana Insurance, Arianainsurance don't just sell policies - Arianainsurance help you find the right coverage for your specific situation. With the addition of Steadily and Openly to its carrier portfolio, Arianainsurance can now offer even more tailored solutions for: * Landlords and rental property investors in the Arlington and Northern Virginia area * Airbnb and short-term rental hosts who need coverage their platform's protection doesn't provide * Homeowners who want premium protection with guaranteed replacement cost and flexible options * Owners of vacation homes or seasonal properties looking for coverage that fits their unique needs Its team takes the time to understand your property, your risks, and your budget - then shops across its carrier network to find you the best fit. That's the independent agent advantage. Ready to get a quote?
