Fura lands second straight spot on Inc. 5000

Fura, the Cincinnati freight brokerage and logistics platform, said it made the 2026 Inc. 5000 list for the second year in a row. The company framed the recognition as validation of its AI-led acquisition model as it expands a freight brokerage rollup built around automation, visibility and integration.

Why it matters: - Fura’s second straight Inc. 5000 appearance signals continued growth for an AI-enabled freight brokerage model in a fragmented logistics market. - The company is trying to prove that acquisitions, automation and disciplined integration can create a more efficient brokerage platform. - Fura says the approach is designed to improve execution for customers, carriers and brokerage teams while advancing a zero-waste supply chain.

What happened: - Fura announced it was named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest growing private companies. - The recognition marks Fura’s second consecutive year on the list. - The company is based in Cincinnati, Ohio. - The announcement came Aug. 14, 2026.

The details: - Fura has completed seven acquisitions as part of its AI-enabled rollup strategy in freight brokerage. - The company pairs acquired brokerage teams with shared operating infrastructure, automation and visibility technology. - Fura said it brings acquired teams onto common systems to cut repetitive work and strengthen execution. - The operating model keeps experienced people in place for decisions, relationships and exceptions. - Fura said its AI and automation tools handle repetitive work across the freight lifecycle. - The company continues to invest in technology, compliance, visibility and integration. - Fura said growth is measured by scale and by whether teams gain tools and capacity to better serve customers and carriers. - Jeff Dangelo, CEO and co-founder, said the goal is to build a durable company that shows what logistics can become when operators, technology and disciplined growth work together. - Ryan Morrow, chief revenue officer, said the aim is to make people closest to the customer more strategic rather than burden them with repetitive work.

Between the lines: - The Inc. 5000 recognition gives Fura outside validation as it tries to turn a rollup strategy into a repeatable operating model. - The company is positioning AI as an efficiency layer, not a replacement for brokerage expertise. - Fura’s messaging suggests the integration work is as important as the acquisitions themselves.

What's next: - Fura said it will keep investing in the technology and integration needed to operate acquired brokerages as one platform. - The company is continuing to build toward its zero-waste supply chain mission. - Fura is also continuing to expand its reach across brokerage operations, shipment tracking and analytics. - More information is available at fura.com and on Fura's LinkedIn page.
