For the fourth consecutive year, the Alexandria-based company upholds industry excellence.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (August 12, 2025) – Bent Ear Solutions (BES) has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. for the fourth consecutive year. This recognition highlights BES’s recent growth in government contracting, expansion of its threat intelligence capabilities, and advancements in data services for utilities and emergency management. The company’s continued success reflects its commitment to delivering innovative, high-impact solutions that address the evolving challenges of its diverse network of clients.
“Earning a place on this list for the fourth year in a row is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our team. Their drive to push boundaries, solve complex problems, and deliver exceptional results is what keeps Bent Ear Solutions moving forward.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
