Medsender Named to Inc.’s 2026 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

Published

on

By

Medsender ranks No. 621 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, marking the company’s second consecutive year on the list.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Medsender®, the platform purpose-built to automate manual front office work for independent practices, announced its inclusion on the 2026 Inc. 5000. Medsender ranked No. 621, following its 2025 debut.

Featured on Inc.com, the Inc. 5000 list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing companies. It offers a data-driven look at the most dynamic and independent businesses shaping the U.S. economy.

Founded in 2015 and based in New York, Medsender serves a large, long-overlooked market: independent medical practices that run their front office on manual processes. Its AI agents handle the work behind faxes, referrals, calls, and lapsed patient outreach, with staff stepping in only for exceptions. Medsender integrates with more than 20 of the top electronic health record systems.

“Independent practices are buried in manual work before a patient ever walks through the door: reading faxes, processing referrals, answering calls, and following up. We are building Medsender so that work happens reliably in the background, freeing staff to focus on patients and the exceptions that require human judgment.”

Salman Haque, Co-CEO of Medsender

The trajectory reflects sustained compounding rather than a single strong year. Medsender now serves more than 1,000 practices, in all fifty states. Growth has been driven by a widening footprint across EHR systems, enhancements to referral management, and expansion into patient reactivation. Underlying all of it is the urgency around rapidly rising administrative costs in practices that cannot solve the problem by hiring.

“A second year on the Inc. 5000 tells us our approach works at scale. Growth like this only happens when practices keep seeing results. We only grow fast when our practices grow fast.”

Zain Qayyum, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Medsender

About Inc.

Inc. is the leading media brand and playbook for entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future. Through its journalism, Inc. aims to inform, educate, and elevate the profile of its community: the risk-takers, the innovators, and the ultra-driven go-getters who are creating the future of business. Inc. is published by Mansueto Ventures LLC, along with fellow leading business publication Fast Company. For more information, visit www.inc.com.

About Medsender

Medsender automates the manual work that happens before a patient ever walks in the door. Faxes, referrals, calls, and lapsed patient outreach run on one platform instead of the point solutions practices would otherwise stitch together.

For independent practices, Medsender’s AI agents take a referral from arrival to scheduled appointment without staff intervention. Incoming faxes arrive read, indexed, and routed. Inbound calls are answered around the clock. Lapsed patients are brought back through automated outreach and self-scheduling. Staff step in only for exceptions.

Building for this market since 2015, Medsender serves more than 1,000 practices and integrates with the electronic health record systems they run.

As the military, border security organizations, airports, and critical infrastructure operators increase their use of radar for ongoing surveillance and counter-UAS missions, the industry is about to enter a more robust procurement cycle. UAV manufacturers are concurrently integrating compact radar payloads for SAR/GMTI, maritime surveillance, detect-and-avoid, navigation, and mission-safety tasks. Radar deployment is becoming feasible across a broader range of unmanned systems due to the move toward smaller, software-defined, electronically scanned architectures.

Low-SWaP sensors, rapid beam steering, higher target-update rates, automatic categorization, and tighter integration with EO/IR, RF, and command-and-control systems are increasingly important in technology development. These advances are expanding the all-weather intelligence and autonomous capabilities of onboard UAV payloads while also enhancing radar utility against low-altitude and low-observable drones.

By scanning type, electronically scanned array radar is positioned for strong expansion during the forecast period.

Electronically scanned array radar is expected to remain at the top of the scanning category as both airborne payload suppliers and counter-UAS radar manufacturers focus on small, fast-steering designs. AESA, MIMO, metamaterial, and other controlled designs can offer quick track refresh, track multiple targets, provide flexible waveform management, and support software-controlled mission modes without relying solely on moving parts. Their increasing use in SAR/GMTI, detect-and-avoid, surveillance, and drone-detection systems is expected to keep the segment growing until 2031.

By end user, defense is projected to remain the dominant demand segment during the forecast timeframe.

Defense organizations are expected to account for the largest share of UAV radar demand as they expand counter-drone coverage and add more radar systems to ISR, maritime, tactical, MALE, and combat-focused unmanned aircraft. Military buyers are also focusing on radars that can continue tracking, identify targets, guide other systems, and support layered air-defense operations. This is creating opportunities in both new installations and upgrades.

Inquiry Before Buying: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Enquiry_Before_BuyingNew.asp?id=12991818

Growth opportunities are expected to increase in the Asia Pacific region during the forecast period.

Nations in the region are increasing their investments in unmanned surveillance, air defense modernization, border monitoring, marine security, and counter-UAS capacity. Asia Pacific is emerging as one of the most appealing UAV radar industry. Domestic UAV programs and sensor integration activity are growing in China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and other regional markets. It is anticipated that both onboard and offboard radar systems will continue to be in demand due to procurement, local production, and growing concern over small-drone threats.

The major participants in the UAV radar companies include RTX (US), Leonardo S.p.A (Italy), Saab AB (Sweden), HENSOLDT AG (Germany), and Israel Aerospace Industries (Israel). The competitive landscape comprises diversified defense-electronics groups as well as specialist radar suppliers with focused UAV and counter-UAS product portfolios.

To help advisors spend more time supporting Clients and less time on administrative work, Sun Life is expanding its use of AI. The company’s growing suite of advisor tools includes Notes Assistant, which recently earned a 2026 CIO Award Canada, and a newly launched AI-powered advisor concierge. Together, these tools help advisors reduce administrative work, find information faster and better support Clients.

“Strong financial advice starts with understanding what matters most to each Client. The best advisor relationships are built through conversations, trust and a deep understanding of a Client’s goals, not paperwork,” said Jessica Tan, EVP & President, Sun Life Canada. “By helping advisors spend less time on administrative work, we’re enabling them to focus on the relationships that matter most.”

This award recognizes Notes Assistant for its practical use of generative AI in the advisor workflow. The tool can securely summarize Client meetings, compile action items and draft follow-up emails. Advisors save 15-30 minutes per Client session, adding up to hours each week.

The concierge gives advisors a faster, simpler way to find information on products, policies and processes so they can better support Clients. Since launching last month, it has been used in more than 11,000 Client conversations.

“At Sun Life, we see AI as an opportunity to make our people more effective, strengthening the experiences we deliver, while keeping trust, accountability and human judgment at the centre,” said Laura Money, Executive Vice-President and Chief Information and Technology Innovation Officer, Sun Life. “Notes Assistant is one example of that approach, and as we continue to scale AI across Sun Life, we’re doing so responsibly, with strong governance, privacy and security built in from the beginning.”

Sun Life is moving AI from possibility to practice. Its third consecutive CIO Award Canada win underscores the company’s momentum in scaling responsible AI solutions that help advisors, Clients and employees work smarter and move faster. Recent advances include Sun Life’s founding membership in the AI Consortium and the launch of a proprietary agentic AI platform that helps technology architects make faster, more informed decisions.

Presented by IDC Canada, the CIO Award reinforces Sun Life’s innovation playbook: focus on real business and Client needs, apply technology where it can create meaningful value, and scale responsibly with strong privacy, security and governance controls.
