Akiak Technology, LLC, has made a remarkable entry into the 2025 Inc. 5000 list, securing the No. 106 spot among the fastest-growing private companies in America. This achievement not only places Akiak Technology in the elite Inc. 500 list but also ranks it as the No. 4 fastest-growing company in the Government Services Sector. The Inc. 5000 list is renowned for recognizing companies that demonstrate exceptional growth, innovation, and industry disruption, with past honorees including giants like Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle.

The recognition of Akiak Technology underscores its leadership in providing AI-driven digital transformation and cybersecurity services. Kevin Hamer, CEO of Akiak Technology, emphasized the significance of this achievement, stating, "Securing our spot in the top 500 showcases our blend of technological advancement, customer-centric approaches, and adaptive business models to propel us to the forefront of the GovCon industry."

Akiak Technology stands out as one of the first Alaskan Tribally owned companies to achieve such elite status on the Inc. 500 list. The company's success is deeply rooted in its Yup’ik values and culture, which have fostered an environment of innovation and entrepreneurship. Notably, Akiak Technology was the first Tribally owned company in western Alaska to receive 8(a) certification from the Small Business Administration, further highlighting its pioneering spirit and dedication to creating economic opportunities for the Indigenous people in Akiak, Alaska.

This recognition follows the 2024 Native Woman Business Owner of the Year award presented to Sharon Hamer, an Akiak enrolled Tribal member and cofounder of Akiak Technology. Hamer was also named the 2023 SBA Small Businessperson of the Year for both the state of Virginia and the Washington Area Metropolitan District Office, underscoring the company's leadership and impact in the business community.

Akiak Technology's inclusion in the 2025 Inc. 5000 list is a significant milestone that not only celebrates the company's growth and success but also its contribution to the government services sector and the broader business landscape.
