Proud to earn a place among the nation’s most successful independent businesses.
WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Teal announced it has been ranked No. 4352 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most 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.
“Eight years consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 says a lot about the team we’ve built and the approach we take,” said Don Sauer, Teal CEO and cofounder. “Managed IT services are at the heart of what we do. But it’s the automation that allows us to not only help our clients reclaim time in their day, but also gives our skilled team more time to build stronger relationships with them. I believe the most successful leaders will be those who invest in relationships as AI becomes increasingly embedded in business operations. We’re certainly not done pushing the boundaries of what a managed services company can do, and we’re excited to help more businesses thrive.”
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.

“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.”
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine. Tickets are on sale now.
