Nominees

Tech Top 40 Criteria

The contest is to honor those companies that have the largest revenue growth over the past 4 years. The baseline is 2020 revenue, which must be at least $50,000 compared to 2023 revenue, which must be at least $3,000,000. Companies will be required to support revenue numbers by providing proof such as tax returns or compiled, reviewed or audited financial statements to [email protected], upon submission of this application.

Accelerator Criteria

Companies who are experiencing significant revenue growth but do not yet meet the requirement of having been in business for at least four years may apply for the Accelerator Award. The Accelerator category requires a company to have been in business for two or three years, and have reached at least $3,000,000 in revenue within that time. Revenue must be entered into questions #12-14, depending on the age of the company. If revenue information is not available for all three years, please include a 0 in the FYE 2021 field.
