Right decisions + craftspeople
For over 40 years, the Inc. 5000 list has recognized the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. Meeting the criteria to join these ranks is no small feat. But with the right approaches, decisions and people, Railsware has managed to land the #194 position among other software companies on the list while being in the top 2000 in the general ranking.
From the early days, we’ve learned that launching successful products is just the start. More challenges lie in growing and monetizing products effectively. A great product idea alone isn’t enough—you need a reliable team driven by leadership fuelled by knowledge. And a solid decision-making framework to earn trust and respect from the tech community and our users.
Yaroslav Lazor
CEO at Railsware
Over the years, we were building up knowledge and were eventually able to execute properly on various elements of the company, we aimed to maintain high quality in all aspects—execution, organization, operations, and management. We always wanted to be conscious of what we do, not just wait to reach a certain point by luck or somehow roll to the finish line.
To bring this approach to life, we established a culture where every Railswarian is engaged and seamlessly integrated into each project. We fuel experimentation, set clear goals, and back every team member’s growth. With the freedom to make bold decisions, our team has crafted a space where creativity and innovation aren’t just encouraged—they’re unleashed. The payoff? Exceptional results on every project, every time.
Success in product development? There’s no silver bullet. What you need is hard work, data-driven decisions, creativity, and the guts to grab opportunities when they come along. Each of our products has its unique journey. We don’t stop learning. We test and experiment, we learn from our mistakes, failures and achievements. Our goal remains the same — to let businesses work smarter and more efficiently, and ultimately achieve their goals better. Our products emerge from our own experience and needs, so we know what and why we craft.

Building Railsware with heart and a passion for clarity has forged our core values into more than just website slogans. They are the essence that drives every Railswarian.
