This is MVB’s second time earning a place on the Inc. 5000, following the company’s first recognition in 2024.

“Making the Inc. 5000 for the second time is an incredible honor,” said Demet Anagnos, Founder and CEO of My Valuable Business. “It reflects the trust our clients place in us, the commitment of our team, and the results we can create when the right people work together around the same goals.”
A Recognition We Get to Share
This year’s recognition is especially meaningful because one of our clients, Metro Laundry Service, also earned a place on the 2026 Inc. 5000.
When our clients trust us with the parts of their businesses that matter most, we don’t take that trust lightly. In this case, we supported Metro Laundry Service’s leadership team as they strengthened their financial visibility, operations, and accountability needed to manage growth more effectively.
Their team did the hard work, and we’re proud to have played a role in building the foundation behind that growth.
Seeing both MVB and Metro Laundry Service recognized on the same Inc. 5000 list brings our work full circle. We’re building a growing business while helping our clients build stronger, more scalable, and more valuable businesses of their own.
“Helping one of our clients earn a place on the Inc. 5000 in the same year as MVB, makes this recognition even more meaningful,” Anagnos said. “Their success is exactly why we do this work. We want our clients to grow, but we also want to make sure they have the structure, visibility, and support needed to manage that growth well.”
What Is the Inc. 5000?
The Inc. 5000 is an annual ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. The 2026 list was based on verified revenue growth from 2022 through 2025.
Making the list in 2024 was an exciting milestone for MVB. Returning in 2026 reflects another period of strong growth—and the work our team has done to build a stronger business while helping our clients do the same.
Growing Without Losing What Makes a Business Work
We know firsthand that growth can be exciting and complicated at the same time.
More clients, more people, and more opportunities can also mean more decisions, more moving parts, and more pressure on the owner.
Without the right structure, growth can create as many challenges as it solves.
That is the exact challenge we help our clients address.
MVB brings strategy, finance, operations, marketing, and people together through one aligned team. This gives leaders the visibility, capacity, and hands-on support they need to make better decisions and keep the business moving forward.
Through our O2M™ Framework, we help founder-led businesses and nonprofit organizations:
Strengthen profitability and cash flow
Create clearer systems and operating rhythms
Improve leadership and team accountability
Connect strategy with everyday execution
Reduce owner dependency
Build a healthier, more scalable, and more valuable organization
What Comes Next for MVB?
We’re proud of this recognition, but we don’t see it as the finish line. It’s a sign that we’re moving in the right direction.
We’ll continue investing in our team, strengthening our capabilities, and building the systems that help us show up even better for our clients. That means helping them turn growth into clearer decisions, stronger systems, greater owner freedom, and ultimately, a more valuable business.
Because growth only matters if it makes the business better—easier to run, ready to scale, and valuable beyond any one person.
Ready to Build What Comes Next?
Whether your business is growing quickly or working through what growth has already exposed, you do not have to solve every challenge on your own.
