InfoReady Earns a Place on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

InfoReady Corp Recognized for the seventh time, Earning a Place Among the Nation's Most Successful Independent Businesses

InfoReady Corporation today announced it has once again earned a place on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is a 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.

InfoReady's inclusion is powered by almost doubling revenue growth in three years, serving more than 270 clients across all 50 states, including over two-thirds of the nation's largest research institutions.

"We've always believed that steady, sustainable growth is worth far more than a single strong year," said Bhushan Kulkarni, CEO of InfoReady. "Being recognized on the Inc. 5000 for the seventh time reflects the fundamentals we've worked hard to build, mission-critical software that institutions rely on every day and a near-100% retention rate that turns each new client into a long-term partner. That durability is what allowed us to keep growing through a period of real uncertainty in higher education, and it's the same foundation we're using to expand into medical centers, government agencies, foundations, and corporations."

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.

This year's Inc. 5000 also showcases the continued strength of Ann Arbor's entrepreneurial community. Six companies headquartered in Ann Arbor earned recognition on the 2026 list, including InfoReady, Voxel51, AgelessRx, Workit Health, WE Auto, and Leon Speakers. Together, they represent the diverse industries and innovative companies helping drive the region's economy and national reputation for technology and innovation.

"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."
