A bevy of Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) members own businesses that rank among the United States’ fastest growing privately-held companies. This year’s Inc. 5000 list includes 171 EO member-owned businesses.

The annual list celebrates the fastest-growing private companies in the United States, ranked by overall revenue growth over a three-year period. This year’s list encapsulates data from 2022-2025, and companies are ranked according to their percentage of revenue growth during that span.

Several EO members who made this year’s list shared how EO membership contributed to their company growth.

Inc.’s methodology: “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.” 

The Inc. 5000 list, first launched in 1982 and curated annually by Inc. magazine, celebrates the remarkable growth and accomplishments of companies across industries. The EO-member-led companies on this year’s list symbolize the diverse range of industries represented across the EO ecosystem.

Beyond the list, EO has longstanding ties to Inc. For more than a decade, EO members have built their personal brands by contributing their unique insights and thought leadership to fellow entrepreneurs through an EO-produced column, published by Inc.
