PALO ALTO, Calif., August 13, 2026  — Workera, the AI agent platform built to maximize human potential, has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list recognizes companies that have achieved significant growth while also driving progress, fostering talent, and shaping the future of the national economy.

"This Inc. 5000 recognition validates what we're seeing across our customers: skills intelligence is now foundational infrastructure for AI transformation," said Kian Katanforoosh, CEO of Workera. "As AI accelerates the pace at which skills change, organizations need a continuous signal of what their people can do. At Workera, we're building AI agents that live in the flow of work and help organizations make smarter decisions about hiring, mobility, development, and AI readiness."

Companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 were ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2022 to 2025. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance — it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.” 

Workera was previously selected for the 2025 Inc. 5000 list, demonstrating the company’s continued innovation and growth year over year. Workera has also been recognized by TIME's Best EdTech Companies and World's Top HRTech Companies, the World Economic Forum's Tech Pioneers, and Inc.'s 2025 Fastest Growing Companies.
