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

Chicago, Il 3/31/2026 – Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today revealed that Rapido has been ranked No. 112 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.

Nearshore staffing provides strategic advantages that directly address the challenges 3PLs face today. With Rapido, 3PLs gain access to reliable talent while also improving efficiency, scalability, and service quality. Labor shortages for 3PLs can affect businesses across the US and worldwide by impacting service levels, growth, and competitiveness. Nearshore staffing, Rapido’s main service offering, offers a practical, proven way to ease that pressure by providing 3PLs access to reliable talent, real-time collaboration, and long-term stability.

“Being recognized on the Inc. Regionals: Midwest list for the second year in a row is a reflection of our people and creating an environment where they want to stay, thrive and grow,” said Danny Frisco, Rapido CEO. “Six years ago, Rapido was founded with a simple but powerful idea: logistics companies deserved better solutions and people deserved better opportunities. We are committed to fostering a collaborative, friendly, and people-first culture. We value every individual and recognize the impact each person has on the organization’s success. This honor reinforces our focus on building intentional culture and investing in our people’s long-term careers.”

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.

“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.
