Company ranked No. 6 in Business Products & Services, earning a place among the nation’s most successful independent businesses
New York, NY — August 11, 2026 — Inc. revealed today that Liminal ranks No. 564 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the 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 economy’s future. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
The growth tracks a shift in how decision makers in identity, fraud, financial crime, and cybersecurity leverage intelligence. Enterprises deploying AI into complex and regulated environments found that general-purpose models produce confident answers with nothing verifiable underneath them, and that quarterly reports are stale on arrival. AI agents are only as good as the data underneath them, and Liminal’s has been compounding for a decade.
“Three years ago, we spent much of our time explaining why verified intelligence mattered,” said Travis Jarae, CEO of Liminal. “Now, the Liminal Intelligence Platform is the starting point for how the largest companies in identity, fraud, and cybersecurity decide what to build, where to invest, and how to win. Ranking No. 6 in Business Products & Services shows how fast this shift has happened and how central Liminal has become to it all. I am very proud of what this team has accomplished together.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%. 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. The top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine.
Liminal is committed to delivering the verified intelligence that identity, fraud, and cybersecurity leaders rely on to make better decisions, through the Liminal Intelligence Platform, dedicated events, and a curated expert network. This recognition reflects that work. To stay close to what we are building, explore the platform, subscribe to our newsletter, or follow us on LinkedIn.
