Loop Recognized for Significant Revenue Growth, Earning a Place Among the Nation’s Most Successful Independent Businesses
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Loop, the industry’s first AI-native Logistics Data Platform, today announced it has been ranked No. 10 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The recognition comes as Loop expands its AI services to help shippers navigate one of the most intense and uncertain times in supply chain, recovering millions in previously unchecked overcharges and unifying the data they need to make quick decisions.
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.
“Since founding Loop in 2021, our focus has been on solving the supply chain's data problem at its root, building the infrastructure first, then the AI services and intelligence on top of it,” said Matt McKinney, CEO and Co-Founder of Loop. "That approach has taken us through three funding rounds and rapid growth across a customer base fueling changes in retail, manufacturing, food and beverage, and AI infrastructure. Being named in the top 10 of Inc. 5000’s 2026 list is a massive validation of that momentum, and we're just getting started on what we can unlock for the physical economy.”
Loop works with leading brands like Clemens Food Group, Dot Foods, General Mills, Kendra Scott, Macy’s and Outset Medical to help them reduce transportation spend, improve shipment visibility, and create a more scalable and trustworthy operational and financial foundation. In just three years, Loop’s Logistics Data Platform has grown to manage over $25B in annual freight and parcel spend, helping organizations automate the manual and tedious operations that still power some of the largest global logistics networks in the world.
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.
