Inc., the leading media brand for entrepreneurs and business leaders, announced that PEOPayGo earned the No. 4,182 spot on the prestigious 2026 Inc. 5000 list, recognizing the fastest-growing private companies in America.

“For the second time, being recognized on the Inc. 5000 is an incredible accomplishment for PEOPayGo and a reflection of our team’s unwavering commitment to helping businesses succeed,” said Melanie Montenegro, President of PEOPayGo. “Over the past several years, we’ve continued to strengthen our technology, expand our service offerings, and invest in building lasting relationships with our clients. Every business we support has unique challenges, and our mission is to provide the people, expertise, and solutions that allow them to grow with confidence. Being named to the Inc. 5000 again reinforces that our client-first approach continues to make a meaningful impact.”

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 625,000 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”

Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14-16 in Dallas, Texas, and will also present the top 500 in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
