Empat Ranked Top 5 in Clutch 100 Fastest-Growing Companies 2026

On March 25, 2026, U.S.-based company Clutch released its annual ranking of the 100 fastest-growing companies on its platform. This year 10 companies with Ukrainian roots were included — compared to six in 2024. Notably, two of them ranked in the global top 5: Keenethics (Lviv) took 4th place, while Empat (Kyiv) ranked 5th.

Clutch is one of the largest global marketplaces for B2B services, featuring over 350,000 companies worldwide. The Clutch 100 ranking is based on verified financial data, evaluating the absolute revenue growth of participating companies between 2024 and 2025. This marks the sixth consecutive year Clutch has published the ranking.

Ukrainian Companies in the Ranking

For comparison, the Clutch 100 ranking featured six Ukrainian companies in both 2024 and 2023.

This year’s 10 companies represent the highest level of Ukrainian representation in the ranking’s history.

• 10% of the fastest-growing companies on the list are from Ukraine;
• Empat ranked 5th in the global Clutch 100 Fastest-Growing Companies 2026 ranking;
• Empat has been included in the list for the third consecutive year;
• The ranking features only 100 companies out of the entire Clutch pool (350,000+ B2B companies worldwide);
• The ranking is based on verified financial data and evaluates revenue growth from 2024 to 2025.

What This Recognition Means

Empat’s inclusion in the top 5 of the Clutch 100 indicates that the company not only maintains a high growth rate but does so consistently in a highly competitive global market. For international clients, this serves as a signal of mature processes, strong product and engineering expertise, and the team’s ability to scale complex digital solutions.

“We continuously evolve as a company and actively integrate AI into our internal processes. Our in-house AI tools have helped us optimize team workflows, improve delivery efficiency, and create even greater value for our clients. This strong focus on innovation is what enables us to remain among the top 5 companies on Clutch” — Ihor Repeta, CEO at Empat.

Being recognized for the third consecutive year is particularly significant, as Clutch evaluates companies not based on marketing activity or subjective judging, but on financially verified business performance.

“Market leadership means constantly raising your own bar. We integrated AI into our workflows not because it’s trendy, but because it lets us operate at a higher level. Clients feel it. Clutch confirms it” — Nazar Gulyk, Founder at Empat.

Why This Matters for the Market

The Clutch 100 is one of the most visible global rankings for B2B service providers. In 2026, Clutch released this list for the sixth consecutive year, featuring companies from various regions and across multiple service categories — including software development, IT services, marketing, SEO, and contact center services.

For a Ukrainian company, ranking in the top 5 of such a list also sends a strong signal to the global market: Ukrainian technology businesses remain globally competitive, continue to scale, and deliver world-class products and services. This reinforces Ukraine’s position as a source of strong product and engineering expertise — a conclusion supported by Empat’s position in the global Clutch ranking and the scale of the platform itself.
