Aquia Inc. Ranks No. 2280 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

Aquia's 148% three-year revenue growth outpaced the Inc. 5000 median

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11, 2026 -- Aquia Inc., a digital services firm helping the government modernize systems and processes, today announced it has been ranked No. 2280 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list recognizes companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. 

"Growing this fast as a government contractor means somebody on the customer side took a chance on us," said David Maskeroni, co-founder and chief executive officer of Aquia. "Contracting officers and program managers across half a dozen federal agencies and state governments have trusted our team to do the work, and we delivered. Being recognized on this list is an honor, but the impact we can make on the lives of Americans is really the reward."

Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and the companies have collectively added more than 627,000 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.”
