HyerTek Ranked #456 on INC 5000 in 2026

Rockville, MD, August 11, 2026 – HyerTek Inc. today announced it has been ranked No. 456 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, 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, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.

"Before founding HyerTek in 2016, I spent well over a decade inside some of the largest IT organizations in the world, and the same pattern kept repeating," said Dr. Jack Hyman, founder and CEO of HyerTek. "The specialized, unglamorous work was where organizations needed the most help and received the least of it. That is the work we do for our federal and commercial clients, and we do it by building durable secure systems rather than adding headcount, with experts across four domains: enterprise transformation, data and AI intelligence, mission operations and advisory, and knowledge and workforce enablement. Those four together are what it takes to make a capability stick — modernize the platform, make the data trustworthy, get the operating model right, and equip the people with the training they need to run it."

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."

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.
