Win studio earns first-ever spot on Inc.'s prestigious list, posting 114% three-year revenue growth.
MISSION VIEJO, Calif. (August 11, 2026) – Summit Strategy, the win studio behind some of the fastest-growing GovCon and B2B firms, today announced it has been ranked No. 2,582 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 entrepreneurialbusinesses, 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.
Summit Strategy posted three-year revenue growth of 114%, a trajectory fueled by rising demand for its proprietary Summit Win SystemTM across the GovCon, AEC, and professional services markets. The ranking places Summit Strategy No. 86 among Government Services companies nationwide.
“Making the Inc. 5000 on our first try isn’t luck – it’s proof the Summit Win SystemTM works,”said Krystn Macomber, Founder + CEO of Summit Strategy. “We built this firm to help clients win more. Landing on this list means we’re doing the same thing for ourselves.”
Summit Strategy launched in April 2021 and has since grown revenue nearly 20x, scaling from a solo proposal shop into a full-service win studio that supports more than 250 clients nation wide across GovCon, AEC, and professional services. In 2025, the firm fully implemented its proprietary Summit Win SystemTM – a five-phase framework spanning Plan, Position, Propose,Persuade, and Propel – to help clients replace reactive business development with a repeatable path to more wins.
“This ranking isn’t about us,” Macomber added. “It’s validation that when strategy, brand identity, proposals, and team training work together, growth follows – for our clients and for our own team.”
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.

We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
