The nomination period for the 2024 Washington Technology Fast 50 is still open, but the deadline is just days away. Nominations need to be submitted on or before Aug. 30 (this coming Friday)

Click here to see and complete the nomination form. The due date for nominations is Aug. 30 and we will publish the Fast 50 rankings on Oct. 11.

Our annual Fast 50 program ranks small businesses according to their compound annual growth rates over the prior five years.

The 2024 rankings will look at government revenue numbers from 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Companies need a minimum of $100,000 in government revenue for 2019 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. Don’t be shy.

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 with 2019. 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 last year’s 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.
