You now have until Sept. 5 to nominate your company for recognition as one of the fastest-growing small businesses in the market.
Looking to get some valuable recognition for your small business? Apply for the 2025 Washington Technology Fast 50.
We are extending the deadline by another week, so nominations are now due Friday, Sept. 5.
Follow this link to complete the nomination form.
We will publish the Fast 50 rankings on Oct. 10, right here on the Washington Technology website.
Our annual Fast 50 program ranks small businesses based on their compound annual growth rates over the prior five years.
The 2025 rankings will look at government revenue numbers from 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Companies need a minimum of $100,000 in government revenue for 2020 to qualify.
If your company has a strong growth story to tell for that five-year period, then follow the link to nominate your firm.
Government revenue includes both prime and subcontract dollars in the federal, state and local markets. Work in the education field also qualifies.
Companies submit revenue data for the five-year period starting in 2020. We then calculate the CAGRs and rank the companies accordingly.
It is important to note that when we publish the rankings, the revenue data is included and available for public view. Here are the 2024 rankings as an example.
All entries should include information on your business such as capabilities, lines of business, major customers and major contracts. That information will also be published in the package.
The Fast 50 package will include the rankings and our analysis of this year's ranking.
