From a 15-Year-Old’s Vision to Five Major Honors: Hudson Valley IT Firm Fisch Solutions Makes a Rare Sweep of the Industry’s Biggest Awards and Heads to the Red-Carpet in Beverly Hills
New Windsor, NY | September 18, 2026
It started with a 15-year-old kid in the Hudson Valley building his town’s first website. Nearly three decades into Jason Fisch’s entrepreneurial journey, the business he built is preparing for a red-carpet celebration in Beverly Hills, adding a new chapter to a story that began much closer to home.
Fisch Solutions has been named a 2026 MSP Titans of the Industry – Best of the Northeast finalist, with founder and president Jason Fisch among the ten honorees on the official Northeast finalist list. The designation rounds out a year of five major recognitions spanning the CRN MSP 500, Channel Futures MSP 501, MSP 501 Newcomer of the Year finalist selection, Inc. 5000, and MSP Titans Northeast finalist selection, documented in Fisch’s 2026 awards announcement.
For Fisch, the significance goes beyond another name on a list. It is the distance between a teenager getting started and a Hudson Valley company preparing to take its place on a national stage.
A business built over a lifetime, not overnight
Nearly 30 years is a long time to stay committed to something you started at fifteen. Behind the recognition is a founder’s long-term commitment to building a business, earning trust, and continuing to move forward.
That story also belongs to a much longer local tradition: Jason is the fourth generation of Fisch business owners, following a family history in Beacon, NY that reaches back to his great-grandfather’s shop in 1919, as described in the Fisch family story. Technology became Jason’s own chapter in that history.
Today, the company supports organizations across the Hudson Valley and the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut region with managed IT, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365, cloud services, business communications, AI guidance, and structured cabling, as outlined in Fisch’s company announcement. The services have grown, but the local connection remains central to the story.
The awards make that progress visible. They put names and milestones around something that took years to build.
Five awards, one year, one Hudson Valley team
Fisch’s 2026 award ledger reads like a national industry summary card rather than a regional MSP’s:
CRN Managed Service Provider 500 — Pioneer 250 (second consecutive year). CRN’s annual list of the top managed service providers in North America, with the Pioneer 250 category recognizing the firms leading the adoption of managed and cloud-based services for the small and mid-market. Making the Pioneer 250 two years running is what analysts look for when they want to know whether an MSP’s growth is a moment or a track record.
Channel Futures MSP 501 — ranked #245 nationally. The industry’s longest-running and most competitive ranking of managed service providers, judged on financial performance, service mix, growth, and technology investment. #245 puts Fisch in the top half of the top five hundred MSPs in North America.
No. 245 on the 2026 Channel Futures MSP 501
Channel Futures MSP 501 Newcomer of the Year — Finalist. A newer, separate honor that goes to first-time MSP 501 entrants who broke through the ranking on their debut. The Newcomer winner will be announced at the MSP 501 gala in Orlando.
MSP 501 Newcomer of the Year finalist selection
Inc. 5000 — ranked #3,441 (2026 America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies). Inc.’s national ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Making the 5000 is one of the more difficult private-company achievements in business because the entire ranking is derived from audited multi-year revenue growth, not applications or nominations.
No. 3,441 on the 2026 Inc. 5000
MSP Titans of the Industry — 2026 Northeast Finalist. The new one. Ten finalists were selected for the Northeast category out of thousands of eligible managed service providers nationally. Winners will be announced live at the Beverly Hilton in December.
Five recognitions, five different judging methodologies, one Hudson Valley company.
Why the Titans nomination is different
Most MSP awards are structured around a single dimension — a revenue ranking, a growth ranking, a peer vote. The MSP Titans of the Industry Awards look at the operating whole: business growth, client success and retention, cybersecurity posture, technology innovation, and the leadership standards a firm brings to its regional market. The category Fisch was nominated in — Northeast — specifically recognizes MSPs that have adapted to the unique needs, trends, and challenges of the region they serve, with local expertise, tailored solutions, and market leadership.
That framing matters, because it is exactly what Fisch has spent twenty years building in the Hudson Valley. Local roots. National recognition.
“This one is different than the others,” said Jason Fisch, Founder and President of Fisch Solutions. “The other four awards measure what we did last year on paper — revenue, growth, ranking, financials. The Titans nomination looks at how a firm actually operates in its community. It asks whether we are the kind of technology partner a client in Orange County or a client in Dutchess County can pick up the phone and rely on. That is the standard we have measured ourselves against from day one. Having ten reviewers from across the industry come to the same answer is meaningful in a different way.”
The nomination lands in a year where the case for a serious managed service provider has been made in public by nearly every major technology vendor. Microsoft shipped its largest-ever Patch Tuesday in September, closing 974 vulnerabilities including two active zero-days. SonicWall confirmed a third zero-day in its remote-access appliances the same week. N-able has released four N-central hotfixes in five weeks. In a threat environment that intense, the difference between managed cybersecurity and reactive IT is measured in hours.
A red carpet, a black-tie evening, and two familiar faces
The MSP Titans Of The Industry Awards gala on December 8-9, 2026 will be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel — the same venue that hosts the Golden Globes — and will be hosted by veteran actors David Spade and Rob Lowe. Finalists walk the red carpet ahead of the ceremony, winners receive a physical Titan trophy on stage, and the event is designed to give the industry’s operators the kind of formal recognition normally reserved for the entertainment world.
For Fisch’s team and clients, the December ceremony is the public marker of what the last year has looked like from the inside. It is the recognition of thousands of small operational decisions — the third-shift patch reviews, the after-hours phone calls, the incident-response tabletops, the compliance audits — that collectively make the Hudson Valley business community more resilient.
Local roots. National recognition.
That line closes Fisch’s company video, and it captures the meaning of this year better than a list of awards alone. The recognition reaches far beyond the Hudson Valley, while the story still belongs to the place where it began.
For Jason, the team, and the clients who have been part of the journey, this is a moment to take stock of how far the business has come. A fifteen-year-old’s beginning has become a nearly three-decade story of building, learning, and staying committed.
