DENVER, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BillingPlatform, the leader in AI-native monetization for global enterprises, today announced that for the sixth year in a row it has been named as one of America's fastest-growing private companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, achieving 475% revenue growth over the past six years. 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 for the sixth year in a row reflects the trust enterprises continue to place in our platform as they navigate one of the most transformative periods in monetization's history," said BillingPlatform's CEO Chris Bishop. "AI is changing how companies price, package and generate revenue, and we've built our platform not just to keep pace with that shift, but to define and lead it."
Today, BillingPlatform serves enterprise leaders including J.P. Morgan, DIRECTV, Instacart, FIS, CCC Intelligent Solutions, Panera, Carrier and Clear Channel. The company's AI-native usage-to-cash platform spans metering, billing, and revenue recognition on a single unified metadata model, enabling enterprise teams to configure, analyze and govern their billing operations conversationally.
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," said 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."
