Companies on the Inc. Regionals: Midwest list had a median growth rate of 69 percent.

Minneapolis, March 31, 2026 – Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today revealed that Saltbox Mgmt has been ranked No. 37 on its sixth annual Inc. Regionals: Midwest list – the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the Midwest. The region includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

An extension of the national Inc. 5000 list, the Regionals list offers a data-driven look at the independent small businesses driving growth across the Midwest economy. Companies on this year’s list demonstrate exceptional revenue expansion, resilience, and job creation during a challenging economic period.

“This recognition reflects the work our team has put into helping B2B companies make Salesforce operate as a connected system across their business. As the scope of these programs expands across commerce, revenue, service, and data, the complexity increases, and that’s where we focus. We’ve built Saltbox Mgmt around solving those end-to-end challenges in a practical, AI-enabled way, and our growth is a result of that focus and the trust our clients place in us,” said David Blue, CEO of Saltbox Mgmt.

Between 2022 and 2024, these 144 private companies had a median growth rate of 69 percent; by 2024, they’d also added 8,171 jobs and $5.2 billion to the region’s economy.

Complete results of the Inc. Regionals: Midwest, including company profiles and an interactive database sortable by industry and metro area, will be available beginning March 31 at: https://www.inc.com/regionals/midwest.

“The honorees on this year’s Inc. Regionals list achieved exceptional growth at a time when the odds were against them. Amid inflation, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing economic uncertainty, they didn't just persevere – they innovated, adapted, and thrived. Their resilience made them standouts in their industries and true growth engines in their regions,” said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc.

Methodology 

The Inc. Regionals lists are ranked according to percentage revenue growth over two years. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2022. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2024. (Since then, a number of companies on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2022 is $100,000; the minimum for 2024 is $1 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.
