With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 898.02%, this Marks DNI’s First Time on the Inc. 5000 List
OKLAHOMA CITY, August 12, 2025 – Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that DNI is No. 458 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia. DNI ranked as the #1 fastest growing private company in the OKC Metro area, #2 in Oklahoma, and as #14 in the government contractor sector nationwide.
“This achievement reflects the incredible dedication, expertise, and resilience of our entire DNI family,” said Paula Brown, CEO of DNI. “Reaching the Inc. 5000 for the first time—and doing so as the fastest-growing private company in the OKC Metro—shows that our commitment to excellence, our customers, and our Delaware Nation community is making a real impact. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and we’re even more excited about the opportunities ahead.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
