Bluewave Technology Group Named to Inc. 5000 for Second Consecutive Year

Independent technology advisory and sourcing firm ranks No. 63 in IT Services as IT leaders seek greater clarity when making complex technology decisions

SAN CLEMENTE, CA, August 11, 2026 - Bluewave Technology Group ("Bluewave"), an independent technology advisory and sourcing firm, today announced it has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States for the second consecutive year.

The annual ranking is based on percentage revenue growth over the previous three years. Bluewave ranked No. 63 in IT Services, placing it in the top 15% of companies in its sector, and No. 1,545 overall.

Bluewave's growth comes as IT leaders are making higher-stakes technology decisions in a market that is changing quickly. Bluewave gives clients an independent view of their options and stays involved well past execution, helping ensure those decisions deliver the business outcomes they were intended to achieve.

"Being named to the Inc. 5000 for a second consecutive year reflects the trust clients place in us when they're making important technology investment decisions," said Seth Penland, CEO and founder of Bluewave. "Clients need an independent view of the market and a partner who can connect the technology to the business case. We stay engaged beyond execution to help make sure the solution delivers. As technology choices get harder to navigate, that kind of advocacy matters even more."

Since its founding, Bluewave has advised more than 10,000 organizations and today oversees more than $400 million in annual technology spend on behalf of clients. Its advisors average more than 20 years of industry experience, bringing technology expertise together with business and financial insight to help clients make more confident investment decisions. Bluewave advises clients across AI strategy, network, UCaaS, CCaaS and cybersecurity.

"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."
