Washington, D.C., (June 18, 2025) – HCI Equity Partners announced it has been named to Inc.’s 2025 Best Workplaces list, honoring companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support their teams and businesses.

This year’s list of 514 companies, featured on Inc.com, is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company cultures–whether in-person or remote.

The award process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by HR technology company Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company’s benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking.

“It’s an honor to be recognized on Inc.’s list,” said Doug McCormick, Managing Partner at HCI. “We continually strive to keep abreast of evolving workplace demands, provide competitive compensation, and support professional development and team building. We also believe in work-life balance and transparent communication within our firm and across our portfolio companies. We are proud of our firm and consider it a great place to work, and we are pleased to be recognized as among the top American workplaces.”

“Inc.’s Best Workplaces program celebrates the exceptional organizations whose workplace cultures address their employees’ welfare and needs in meaningful ways,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “As companies expand and adapt to changing economic forces, maintaining such a culture is no small feat. Yet these honorees have not only achieved it—they continue to elevate the employee experience through thoughtful benefits, engagement, and a deep commitment to their teams.”
