West Hartford, CT, August 12, 2026 — CompassMSP today announced it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation's most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
"Earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 reflects a major shift in the market. For too long, organizations have struggled with the dangerous gap between separate IT and security providers," said Executive Chairman Jivan Achreja. "Our growth proves that businesses want a single, accountable partner. By unifying IT operations with the Apex Security Platform, CompassMSP eliminates handoffs between detection and remediation, delivering true resilience instead of louder alarms."
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
