Five Nines Technology Group today announced that it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Ranked No. 3447, Five Nines earned its 10th appearance on the prestigious list, marking a major milestone for the Nebraska-based managed IT services provider.
The Inc. 5000 recognizes some of the most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses in the country, highlighting companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and helping shape the future of the U.S. economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
For Five Nines, this year’s recognition is especially meaningful.
2026 marks the company’s 10th time making the Inc. 5000.
After more than two decades in business, reaching a decade on the Inc. 5000 puts Five Nines in some pretty rare company. Very few businesses, particularly within Nebraska and the managed services industry, have achieved this level of sustained growth and recognition. Five Nines’ 10th appearance represents more than a milestone. It reflects more than two decades of growth, resilience, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to the organizations it serves.
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like across industries including AI, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, consumer products, and professional services. Among the 5,000 companies on the 2026 list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130 percent, and honorees 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.”
The 2026 Inc. 5000 honorees will be celebrated at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas. The top 500 companies will also be featured in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine.

Companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2022 to 2025. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2022. Companies must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, 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.
The minimum revenue required for 2022 is $100,000, while the minimum revenue required for 2025 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.

he Inc. 5000 is an annual ranking of the fastest-growing private, independent companies in America based on three-year revenue growth. Earning a spot highlights exceptional business resilience, innovation, and job creation—placing honorees alongside iconic past list-makers like Microsoft, Patagonia, and Oracle.
Most companies that make the Inc. 5000 only appear once or twice as they navigate initial growth spurts. Reaching the list 10 separate times demonstrates sustained, long-term stability and continuous innovation over decades — a milestone achieved by a very small fraction of businesses nationwide and especially rare within Nebraska’s managed IT services sector.
Sustainable growth allows Five Nines to continuously reinvest in top-tier engineering talent, advanced cybersecurity infrastructure, and strategic IT management resources. For our partners, this means partnering with a proven, highly stable IT provider dedicated to turning complex technology challenges into a reliable competitive advantage!
Our sustained growth comes down to our alliance-driven approach. Rather than acting as a typical outsourced vendor, we take full ownership of our clients' technology challenges, aligning their IT strategy directly with their business goals to support long-term, scalable success.
While 10 years on the Inc. 5000 is a proud moment for our team and partners, it’s a stepping stone, not a finish line. We remain focused on expanding our security capabilities, staying ahead of evolving tech landscapes, and continuing to deliver accountable, high-touch support across the Midwest.
