The basics:

• 28 New Jersey companies rank on Inc.‘s 2026 Northeast growth list
• Oculus Insights (Freehold Township) leads NJ firms with 960% growth
• Northeast companies post 73% median growth, generating $2.3B
• Ranked firms must meet strict revenue, growth criteria from 2022–2024

Twenty-eight companies in New Jersey rank among Inc.’s new list of fastest-growing privately held firms in the Northeast.

Now in its sixth year, the Inc. Regionals aim to showcase independent small businesses that have created thousands of jobs and brought in millions in revenue. It also paves the way for the business publication’s well-known Inc. 5000 roundup of the nation’s top 5,000 high-growth ventures.

To determine regional rankings, Inc.’s editors evaluated percentage revenue growth from 2022 to 2024. To qualify, entrants must be: U.S. based; founded by March 31, 2022; and a privately held, for-profit, independent entity with a minimum revenue of $100,000 for 2022 and $1 million for 2024.

This year’s list recognized 949 companies across seven areas: Southwest, Pacific, Rocky Mountain, Midwest, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Altogether, the ranked companies reported $30.6 billion in revenue and 81% median growth over the two-year period, according to Inc.

Within the Northeast, the 151 ventures had a median growth rate of 73%, generated $2.3 billion for the region’s economy and added 6,779 jobs. Inc. defines the region as Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey.

Commenting on this year’s honorees, Inc. Editorial Director Bonny Ghosh praised them for achieving “exceptional growth at a time when the odds were against them.

“Amid inflation, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing economic uncertainty, they didn’t just persevere – they innovated, adapted, and thrived. Their resilience made them standouts in their industries and true growth engines in their regions,” Ghosh said.
