2025 Growth Index

We are proud to introduce the 2025 Growth Index — a compilation of benchmark data and best practices associated with growth-stage companies. The Growth Index is a program of Edison Edge, a personalized value creation ecosystem of people, plans, and programming — all tailored for portfolio company stage, strategy, and operating needs.

The 2025 Growth Index takes the idea of “growth at all costs” and turns it on its head — challenging growth stage companies to balance sustainable growth with profitability and operational discipline. We analyzed twelve quarters’ worth and over 7,000 points of data to identify the keys to durable growth, and we are excited to share these keys with you to help you strike the right balance between ambition and accountability.
