Company Recognized for 277% Three-Year Revenue Growth, Earning a Place Among the Nation’s Most Successful Independent Businesses
WAYNE, Pa., Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — IHKWIP today announced it has been ranked No. 1,267 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
“Being named to the Inc. 5000 is an incredible honor because it represents more than growth—it represents what’s possible through entrepreneurship. We built IHKWIP during a time of uncertainty, betting on an idea we believed in when the future wasn’t guaranteed. That’s the American Dream: creating something from nothing through hard work, resilience, and an unwavering belief in our vision. We’re especially grateful to our incredible retail partner QVC, where we’ve grown the business and built a loyal community of customers who have embraced our brand. We never set out to simply sell handbags, we set out to build a brand that people genuinely wanted to be part of. The future of shopping is about connection, conversation, and community. We believe live social selling and the evolution of home shopping are creating one of the most exciting opportunities in retail today, and we’re just getting started!” says Anthony Nota and Baylen Edwards-Miller, Co-Founders of IHKWIP.
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine. Tickets are on sale now.
