Triad Fast 50

Overview

Triad Business Journal’s Fast 50 Awards honor the 50 fastest-growing privately held companies headquartered in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, based on audited revenue growth over a three-year period. The program is run by the Triad Business Journal (a regional edition of The Business Journals) in partnership with an independent accounting firm that verifies and ranks applicants using a data-driven methodology. Companies pursue it for regional visibility, employer-brand credibility, and third‑party validation of sustained growth. It is an editorial, data-verified recognition rather than a pay-to-play marketing list.

Eligibility Requirements

• Private, for-profit company with U.S. headquarters in the Triad region (Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point and surrounding area)
• In business for at least three full fiscal years prior to the 2026 awards cycle
• Minimum of approximately $2 million in revenue in the most recently completed fiscal year, with verifiable three-year revenue history submitted for ranking
