August 21, 2023

Since its inception in 2019, Black Cape, Inc., has focused on providing heroic solutions to the hard problems faced by our commercial and government customers. Our inclusion on the 2023 Inc. 5000 list underscores our ability to do just that.

"We’re honored to make this list of fastest growing companies," said Black Cape Co-CEO/Cofounder Al Di Leonardo. "We focus on creating an environment that makes technologists not only want to come to Black Cape, but to stay. We believe the positive work environment we have fostered enables technologists to focus on building great software that supports our customers’ missions."
