CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hylaine today announced it has been ranked No. 3463 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Hylaine also ranked No. 30 in Greater Charlotte, No. 84 in North Carolina, and No. 228 in IT Services on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list. 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.
“Our presence on the Inc. 5000 for 5 consecutive years is a testament to Hylaine’s mission to value true partnerships over transactions, doing what’s right over what’s easy, honesty without exceptions—no bait and switch—ever, and transparency in everything we do,” said Adam Boitnott, Founder and CEO, Hylaine.
Boitnott continued, “I’d like to thank our employees for believing in our purpose, putting client needs over ours, and going the extra 5%—on our dime—to overdeliver on our promises, and to our clients for their long-term partnerships and trusting us with their most critical IT initiatives.”
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.”
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.
