August 12, 2025 (Columbia, MD) — A-G Associates, a leading organizational consulting firm that specializes in high-impact strategy and implementation, research, data analysis, and program evaluation, stakeholder engagement, and change management solutions for mission-driven organizations across the federal, non-profit, and private sectors, has once again earned a place on Inc. Magazine’s annual Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This year, A-G ranked at No. 717.
The Inc. 5000 list provides a data-driven look at the most successful independent businesses in the U.S., celebrating companies that demonstrate rapid growth, innovation, and resilience. Past honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia—brands that first gained national attention through this recognition.

Methodology
Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
