Portland Fast 50

Overview

Portland Business Journal’s Fastest-Growing Private 100 (often referred to locally as the Fast 50/100) recognizes the Portland metro area’s fastest-growing privately held companies based on audited revenue growth over a multi‑year period. Run by the Portland Business Journal, it is a data-driven, editorially vetted rankings program that culminates in a special print/digital feature and awards event. Companies pursue it for regional visibility, credibility with customers and investors, and networking with other high‑growth executives. Rankings are based on revenue verification rather than pay‑to‑play submissions, which adds to its credibility.

Eligibility Requirements

• Privately held, for‑profit company headquartered or with significant operations in the Portland, Oregon metro area
• Minimum of three full fiscal years of operating history with positive revenue in the base year
• Willingness to provide top-line revenue figures for the required comparison years for third-party verification and ranking
