Inc. 5000

The world of business is changing rapidly. But the companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 list withstood and even maximized these changes, generating a cumulative $385 billion in revenue in 2025.

Companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list are ranked according to their percentage revenue growth over three years, from 2022 to 2025. To qualify, companies must be privately held, for-profit, based in the U.S., and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2025. (Since then, some companies on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) Companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2022. The minimum revenue requirement is $100,000 for 2022 and $2 million for 2025. All honorees must pass Inc.’s editorial review. See our full methodology.
