An extension of the national Inc. 5000 list, the Regionals list offers a data-driven look at the independent small businesses driving growth across the Northeast economy. Companies on this year’s list demonstrate exceptional revenue expansion, resilience, and job creation during a challenging economic period.

“Being recognized on the INC Regionals 2026 list is more than an accolade — it’s a reflection of every person on our team who shows up with purpose, pushes through challenges, and refuses to settle for ordinary,” says Jim Moreo, CEO & Co-Founder of Cornerstone.IT. “This honor belongs to them. It reminds us of how far we’ve come and fuels our commitment to keep growing, keep serving, and keep making a difference in the communities we call home.”

Between 2022 and 2024, these 151 private companies had a median growth rate of 73 percent; by 2024, they’d also added 6,779 jobs and $2.3 billion to the region’s economy.

Complete results of the Inc. Regionals: Northeast, including company profiles and an interactive database sortable by industry and metro area, will be available beginning March 31 at: https://www.inc.com/regionals/northeast.

“The honorees on this year’s Inc. Regionals list achieved exceptional growth at a time when the odds were against them. Amid inflation, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing economic uncertainty, they didn’t just persevere – they innovated, adapted, and thrived. Their resilience made them standouts in their industries and true growth engines in their regions,” said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc.

Methodology

The Inc. Regionals lists are ranked according to percentage revenue growth over two years. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2022. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2024. (Since then, a number of companies on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2022 is $100,000; the minimum for 2024 is $1 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.
