Company Recognized for 71% Three-Year Revenue Growth, Earning a Place Among the Nation’s Most Successful Independent Businesses
Jacksonville, FL, August 11, 2026 – Ricci Insurance Group today announced it has been ranked No. 3,727 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. 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.
“When I started Ricci Insurance Group, I wasn’t thinking about making the Inc. 5000. I was just focused on building a great insurance agency and taking really good care of people. Twelve years later, those things are still at the center of what we do. To see that turn into this kind of growth, and to make this list for the second year in a row, is pretty incredible,” said Whitney Ricci, President of Ricci Insurance Group.
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.”
