Fearless buoyed by large federal contracts, eyes international expansion

Fearless is planning to spread across the country and the world after winning several big contracts with the federal government.

The Baltimore tech company has graduated from the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development program after nine years. The 8(a) program allowed Fearless to work as a prime information technology and software contractor with the federal government, helping it grow from $2 million in revenue in 2015 to $48 million in 2021. The company is now on track to make $75 million this year and hit $100 million in revenue in 2023. Its staff has bulked up from 15 people to more than 250.
