The awards were established in 1997 amid the dotcom boom to showcase the achievements of burgeoning U.S. technology firms. Over time, the Fast 500 initiative has broadened its scope to encompass North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
The Fast 500 examines companies' relative growth in revenue over a three-year period. A company that grows by $1 million from a revenue of $2 million would be ranked below a company that grows by $500,000 from a revenue of $100,000. The Fast 500 seeks to reward companies that have demonstrated cutting edge business strategies, vision and solid management. It has three main international divisions:
- Fast 500 Asia Pacific
- Fast 500 EMEA
- Fast 500 North America
