Bent Ear Solutions Named to INC. 5000 for Fifth Consecutive Year
For five straight years, the company has maintained industry excellence for its growing list of clients worldwide.
ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 11, 2026 — Bent Ear Solutions (BES), a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Esri Gold Partner, has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This is the fifth consecutive year BES has appeared on the list. Only a small share of the companies that reach the Inc. 5000 return to it five years running, which requires clearing a higher revenue bar each time.
Five straight appearances is a significant achievement. The list measures three-year revenue growth, so a fifth consecutive year means the company has grown against a larger base each year. This has occurred through a period of tight state and local budgets and federal grant uncertainties.
“Awards don’t build great companies. Great people do. Thanks to all of our amazing employees for your dedication, your passion, and your commitment to excellence. Being named to the Inc. 5000 for five consecutive years is a reflection of what we have accomplished together. And thank you to our clients for trusting us to help you solve some of your most challenging problems.”
Contributing significantly to BES’s growth over the past two years is our rapidly expanding data services program. BES expects this program to continue accelerating through 2027, delivering essential, real‑time data that enables critical decisions with greater speed, precision, and confidence. As BES helps customers fully leverage and optimize their existing technologies, such as Esri and Microsoft, data services will further complement, enhance, and unify mission operations, strengthening our clients’ overall organizational performance.
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.
