For the past seven years, Arlington Economic Development (AED) has recognized the fastest-growing companies in Arlington with the Fast Four Awards. The Fast Four Awards honor Arlington companies that have achieved significant revenue growth over a three-year period.
For 2022, AED is expanding its awards by adding two more award categories to recognize companies with the fastest employee growth and the largest venture capital raises. These three award categories allow AED to recognize and salute Arlington companies for their accomplishments and contributions to the County’s business economy.
Award Categories
- Fastest Revenue Growth: Recognizing four Arlington companies with the highest rate of revenue growth over a three-year period.
- Fastest Employee Growth: Recognizing two Arlington companies with the highest rate of employee growth from the previous year.
- Largest Venture Capital Raise: Recognizing two Arlington companies with the highest amount of venture funding raised in the previous year.
Applications are open now through October 11. The winning companies will be announced during an awards reception in National Landing on November 1.
Interested? Learn more about the application process and submit your company for consideration.
