Washington, D.C. – September 2, 2026 – Orion Network Solutions today announced it has been ranked No. 1,685 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, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
“Being named to the Inc. 5000 reflects the trust our clients have placed in us,” said Ashu Bhoot, Founder and CEO of Orion Network Solutions. “We support nonprofits and businesses across the DC metro area, and 207% growth over three years came from doing the fundamentals well: answering the phone, solving the problem, and being straight with people about what their technology needs. That credit belongs to our engineers and support staff.”
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.

We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
