Mercury 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies

The Mercury 100 list is ranked by percentage revenue growth over a two-year period, with companies divided into five “flights” of 20, with the highest revenue earners in flight one. Those 20 companies are then ranked by their percentage revenue growth over a two-year period. The Mercury 100 Lists are compiled by BizWest’s research department.
