Channel has been named one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces for 2025, marking its second consecutive year to earn a spot on this national list.

“What makes this recognition especially meaningful in 2025 is the way our culture has not only held strong but is emboldened through change,” Adam Peterson, co-founder and managing director of Channel, said. “Joining forces with Onset Financial has been a powerful moment for both organizations. The cultural alignment was immediate, and the synergy has been both energizing and affirming. We’re building something special together that is rooted in shared values, mutual respect and a collective belief in doing the right thing.”

“It has been clear from the start that Channel’s culture was not only strong but intentional, and built to last,” Justin Nielsen, founder and CEO of Onset Financial, said. “At Onset, we believe the strength of any company comes down to its people, and this partnership reinforces that truth. We go beyond just hiring talent, we hire character, and we protect our culture fiercely. Channel’s team exemplifies that standard, and together, we’re proving that when you put people and partners first, growth follows naturally, and the results speak for themselves.”

“Inc.’s Best Workplaces program celebrates the exceptional organizations whose workplace cultures address their employees’ welfare and needs in meaningful ways,” Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc., said. “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.”
