Seven companies in region make GrowFL top 50 list of fast-growth companies

Seven companies in the region, from a plumbing business to a brewery to a cybersecurity firm, were named to the annual GrowFL Companies to Watch list. 

The Edward Lowe Foundation created the Companies to Watch list, in its 13th year, to recognize and honor second-stage companies that demonstrate high performance in the marketplace with innovative strategies and processes, according to a statement. 

To qualify for the award, companies must be headquartered in Florida and have between six and 150 employees and revenue between $750,000 and $100 million, GrowFL says. From 2019 through 2022, these companies generated close to $2 billion in revenue and added 871 employees, reflecting a 99% increase in revenue and a 62% increase in jobs for the four-year period. That translates into a 27% average annual revenue growth and a 19% average annual growth in employees, the organization adds.
