Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Summit 7 is No. 3148 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.

“Being named to the Inc. 5000 list for the 10th time is an incredible honor and a testament to the unwavering dedication of our team,” said Scott Edwards, CEO of Summit 7. “Our mission is bigger than business, we exist to protect the defense industrial base and ensure the warfighter has every advantage. I’m proud of what we’ve built, humbled and motivated by the trust our clients place in us, and excited for the road ahead.”

Of the 31,702 companies that have made the Inc. 5000 list, less than 300, or 1%, have been listed ten or more times. In 2025, only 110 companies on the list have achieved this milestone, including Summit 7, making it an especially rare and distinguished honor.

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.”

Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine.
