San Francisco Fast 50

Overview

The San Francisco Fast 50 is an annual ranking by the San Francisco Business Times that recognizes the fastest-growing companies in the San Francisco Bay Area, typically based on audited revenue growth over a multi-year period. Companies pursue it for regional credibility, visibility with investors and customers, and inclusion in a prominent business-media ranking that is data-driven rather than purely nomination-based. The list is published by an established business journal, which adds editorial legitimacy.
