NWN, the leading AI-powered technology services provider, today announced it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the fifth consecutive year. The recognition underscores NWN’s sustained growth at scale as enterprises and public sector organizations accelerate modernization, AI adoption, and managed services transformation. Building on $1.3 billion in 2025 revenue and expected continued growth in 2026, NWN is strengthening its role as a trusted modernization partner for more than 6,000 customers navigating increasingly complex technology environments.
“Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 for five consecutive years is a powerful validation of NWN’s growth, execution, and relevance for our customers,” said Jim Sullivan, President and CEO of NWN. “Crossing $1 billion in annual revenue, we are scaling our full stack managed services by helping customers modernize and manage their critical technology environments and move AI from experimentation into positive business outcomes. Our momentum reflects the trust customers place in NWN to deliver the expertise, managed services, and operational excellence required to perform at scale. I’m grateful to our employees, partners, and customers for helping make this growth possible.”
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.

We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine. Tickets are on sale now.
Inc. 5000 List Methodology
