Tunnl named to Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies for 2026. Arlington, Virginia, August 13th, 2026, TechnologyWire Tunnl, the AI-powered audience intelligence platform, today announced its inclusion in the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies. Tunnl is one of 126 Artificial Intelligence and Data companies recognized on this year's list, a group that reflects the growing importance of applied AI infrastructure across industries. The Inc. 5000 ranks the fastest-growing private companies in the United States by revenue growth over a three-year period, and inclusion signals sustained performance in one of the most competitive periods for private company growth in recent memory. Tunnl's placement on the Inc. 5000 reflects rapid adoption of the platform's approach to audience intelligence, which connects survey research, audience targeting, activation, and campaign measurement in a single closed loop platform. The company has scaled significantly over the past 12 months, adding Fortune 500 clients across healthcare, financial services, and consumer technology. Recent momentum has been driven by a broader shift in how brands evaluate research and marketing technology. As brands look to reduce the loss that happens across every handoff in a modern marketing campaign, from research to targeting to activation to measurement, demand is growing for connected intelligence platforms that keep everything under one roof. Sara Fagen, CEO and co-founder of Tunnl, who brings more than 20 years of experience across political campaigns and as a four-time founder, said the recognition reflects growing brands demand for AI platforms grounded in real, ground truth data. "Being named to the Inc. 5000 reflects the growing demand we're seeing for a new way to understand and act on human opinion," says Sara Fagen, CEO of Tunnl. "Human opinion evolves over time, so organizations need to be able to not just capture that evolution, but act on it. That's why we built Tunnl with survey data as the foundation, using AI-powered layers to make those insights actionable and scalable. Our growth is a reflection of that need, and of the true campaign operating system we've created for marketers, advocacy leaders, and agency executives." Growth Reflects Demand Across Industries The company's Q1 2026 performance underscored the acceleration. Tunnl conducted four times more custom research projects in Q1 2026 than in the same period last year, with the volume of custom surveys launched in the first quarter alone matching the total number fielded across all of 2025. Tunnl's clients span pharmaceutical manufacturers, trade associations, and Fortune 500 brands operating in high-stakes communications environments, where audience precision affects both business performance and reputational outcomes.

Tunnl partners with TiVo Ads to expand local TV coverage across media planning and audience insights. Tunnl is excited to announce a new partnership with TiVo Ads, adding another layer of TV viewership data behind the audience intelligence and media planning tools in the platform. TiVo Ads' large-scale, privacy-compliant viewership signals are now integrated directly into Tunnl. This gives brands, agencies, advocacy groups, and media companies a fuller picture of how audiences engage with programming across markets, networks, and formats. For teams planning across linear and streaming, that means richer audience composition data, more precise reach and frequency analysis, and deeper exploration of real viewing behavior. Adding TiVo Ads' data is especially meaningful for teams focused on local and regional strategy, as it gives Tunnl access to more local programming than ever before. TiVo Ads' coverage will help teams whose buying strategy goes beyond national programming. Planners can see where audiences are actually spending time, calibrate investment between linear and streaming with more confidence, and build campaigns that reflect how television is watched in the markets most relevant to their brief. This partnership is part of Tunnl's broader effort to build a single, connected data stack. One that brings together historical depth, real-time signals, and scalable identity resolution in one place. The Tunnl Platform continues to be powered by a data moat no one else has: including consumer and voter data, TV viewership, and AI-driven predictions to power research, planning, measurement, and optimization. Adding TiVo Ads' local TV coverage strengthens that foundation and reinforces Tunnl's Platform as a system of record for how audiences really move across media.
