Wildwonder Ranks No. 109 On The 2025 Inc. 5000 List Of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

NEW YORK, August 12, 2025 – Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that sparkling pre/probiotic beverage brand wildwonder is No. 109 overall on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The brand also ranked #4 in SF-Oakland-Berkeley, CA, #6 in Food & Beverage and #14 in California categories. 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.

Founder & CEO Rosa Li shares "We’re honored to be recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for the second year in a row. It’s a testament to our incredible team, our loyal customers, and the vision that started in my grandmother’s kitchen – to make wellness delicious and accessible for everyone. Growth is exciting, but what matters most is staying true to our mission of creating everyday wonders while uplifting our community along the way."

This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500companies 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.”

Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.

Created as a love letter to her grandmother, who raised her in Beijing, Rosa has grown the herbal wisdom-inspired and gut-supporting drink company into one of the fastest-growing non-alcoholic beverage brands of the year. Wildwonder’s bold and fruit-forward flavors, inspirational founding story, and breakout year in recognition recently landed the brand in Whole Foods nationwide, as well as Sprouts, Erewhon Market, Target, and Albertsons Safeway locations.

This May, to celebrate AAPI month, the brand teamed up with revolutionary nail care brand Le Mini Macaron to launch a limited-edition Cherry Lemonade drink and a matching nail polish kit available exclusively on drinkwildwonder.com and leminimacaron.com.

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 December 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. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.

ABOUT ROSA LI

A Fulbright Scholar, Tory Burch Fellow, Stanford Business School Graduate, and former private equity and venture investor, Li turned back to traditional herbal medicine as a solution to her Wall Street-induced stress and health issues. She learned that over 70% of the body’s immune system lies in the gut microbiome, impacting mood, energy, brain function, and metabolism. Using legacy herbs, she developed refreshing flavors with gut health benefits without the traditional bitter taste of medical herbs and spices. Founded in 2020, just a year later, the company raised seed funding. Li expanded her business beyond Northern California and showcased her bold, effervescent flavors on Shark Tank in 2023, winning over guest shark and Doordash CEO Tony Xu.
