Seattle Fast 50

Overview

Seattle Fast 50 (often branded as the Puget Sound Business Journal Fast 50) is an annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the Seattle area, based on revenue growth over a multi‑year period. It is run by the Puget Sound Business Journal, part of the American City Business Journals network, and is positioned as an editorial, data‑driven list rather than a pay‑to‑play recognition. Companies pursue it for local credibility with investors, customers, and talent, as well as event visibility and media coverage in the region.

Eligibility Requirements

• Company must be privately held and headquartered in the Puget Sound/greater Seattle area
• Must have generated a minimum of $1 million in revenue in 2023 (baseline may be stated as the earliest year in the measurement period)
• Must provide verified revenue figures for each year in the required multi‑year period so Puget Sound Business Journal can calculate growth and determine rankings
