Energy CX Named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 List

Landing on Inc.'s list for a third year running, Energy CX marks continued growth in revenue, headcount and the real estate portfolio it manages nationwide.

CHICAGO, August 11, 2026 — Energy CX has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, ranking No. 1,354 out of 5,000 of the country's fastest-growing private companies. It's the company's third straight year on the list, following back-to-back recognition in 2024 and 2025.

Inc. 5000 ranks the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. by revenue growth over a three-year period. Together, the 2026 honorees generated more than $385 billion in revenue and added over 627,000 jobs to the U.S. economy over that span. For Energy CX, landing on the list for three years in a row is evidence of continuous growth, which is a core brand value.

"Making the Inc 5000 list for a third straight year is great to see," said Co-CEO Scott Hammes. "It reflects the work our team puts in every day for our customers, and it tells us we're building something special."

"The Inc. 5000 has always celebrated entrepreneurs who see opportunity where others see obstacles," said Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Their success in today's constantly evolving economic landscape is a powerful reminder that entrepreneurs are the driving force behind the American economy, creating jobs, fueling innovation, and shaping the future of business."

That growth shows up in Energy CX's own numbers. The company posted 261% 3-year revenue growth, bringing them from No. 2,334 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list to No. 1,354 in 2026. Headcount grew 68% in 2025, as the team scaled to keep pace with more than 2 billion square feet of commercial real estate now under management.
