Here are the top 25 companies on this year’s CRN Fast Growth 150 list, which ranks solution providers by their two-year growth rate.
Economic and geopolitical uncertainty continues to unsettle the global business environment, while at the same time supply chain shortages and disruptions hamper operations throughout the channel.
The IT industry, nevertheless, continues its rapid transformation thanks to the accelerating pace of AI technology development and implementation. This has created unprecedented opportunities for VARs, solution providers, systems integrators and other channel companies as their clients turn to them for help in navigating the new AI-driven world.
Solution providers are themselves having to pivot as they develop new business plans, acquire new tech skills and certifications, and establish new partnerships with AI-focused startups—as well as evaluate partnerships with long-time IT vendors that are themselves adjusting to the quickly changing IT industry landscape.
Throughout all this many solution providers are not just succeeding but thriving, recording double-digit and even triple-digit growth rates, as evidenced by the 2026 CRN Fast Growth 150.
The annual CRN Fast Growth 150 recognizes solution providers with annual sales of at least $1 million by their average two-year growth rate (this year for 2023 to 2025).
While organic growth is critical for long-term success for solution providers, aggressive acquisition strategies often fuel much of the growth of the fastest growing companies on this list. Solution providers pursue acquisitions to expand geographically, add to their technology and service portfolios, and otherwise grow to accelerate market momentum.
Caylent, a rising star in the AI space (with a 123.1 percent two-year growth rate), certainly got a boost to its No. 18 spot on this year’s list with its October 2025 merger with Trek10, a fellow AWS Premier Services partner, creating a heavyweight contender in the AWS services space. Caylent, which also acquired Amazon consulting company Pronetx in April, named Valerie Henderson as its new CEO in March.
Here we present the 25 solution providers with the fastest growth rates, starting with No. 25 and working our way to No. 1—the solution provider with the fastest growth. The complete 2026 Fast Growth 150 list can be found at crn.com
(Note: This year’s list has ties at positions No. 25 and No. 82 where solution providers had the same growth rates even when calculated out two decimal places. Park Place Technologies (No. 24), while listed as 100.0 percent growth after rounding, had a faster growth rate than the two companies tied at No. 25.)
