In technology, the pace of change gets faster every year. That’s why we’ve added a category to recognize technology companies that are quickly making a name for themselves. They have met the same criteria as the Fast 500, except they have been in business a minimum of three years, but less than five years. We expect to see these Rising Stars on the Fast 500 very soon.
