AUSTIN, Texas — Aug. 11, 2026 — LeanDNA, a leading intelligent supply chain execution platform, today announced it has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America for the fifth year in a row.
The five-peat places LeanDNA in rare company. Since the Inc. 5000 launched in 1982, fewer than 1% of all honorees have earned a spot five years running. This is a bar that requires compounding growth through shifting markets, supply chain shocks, and economic headwinds.
"Making this list once is a milestone; making it five years in a row is extraordinary. It reflects the trust manufacturers continue to place in LeanDNA to turn inventory chaos into on-time delivery, quarter after quarter," said Andy Ellenthal, CEO of LeanDNA. "The company’s growth can be traced directly to the meaningful impact that APEX makes on key business outcomes, helping teams cut shortages, reduce excess, and boost on-time delivery.”
LeanDNA's run on the Inc. 5000 tracks a multi-year growth story: the company first earned a place on the 2022 list, returning in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Each appearance reflects continued expansion across aerospace, automotive, industrial, semiconductor, and medical device manufacturing.
The Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies are ranked by three-year revenue growth among independent, privately held, U.S.-based companies; the list remains one of the most competitive benchmarks of entrepreneurial success in the country. Earning a place even once is difficult; repeat appearances are progressively rarer.
