VulnCheck, The Exploit Intelligence Company, today announced that it ranked No. 478 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. With 717% three-year revenue growth, VulnCheck placed in the top 10% of all honorees and among the top 10 fastest-growing cybersecurity companies on the list.

The Inc. 5000 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.

“Our rapid growth reaffirms that the market is demanding better approaches to address the rapidly accelerating volume of software vulnerabilities,” said Anthony Bettini, founder and CEO, VulnCheck. “Security teams need exploit intelligence that shows what is actively weaponized in the wild, and need it in a way that is easily consumable by the automated systems, AI models, and security workflows they already use. We are grateful to our customers and partners for their trust, and to our employees for making this growth possible.”

The recognition comes amid significant growth for VulnCheck. Over the past three years, the company grew its team more than ninefold and, in February 2026, announced a $25 million Series B funding round to help meet surging demand for its exploit intelligence solutions.

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,” 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.”

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.
