What the IBJ Fast 25 Measures

The Indianapolis Business Journal compiles the Fast 25 annually, ranking privately held, for-profit companies headquartered in central Indiana by verified revenue growth over a multi-year window. Companies must exceed $1 million in annual revenue, and an outside accounting firm verifies the numbers before publication. It's one of IBJ's flagship annual business features, published mid-year and honored at a breakfast event.

What SupplyKick Was Building in 2017

SupplyKick had spent the prior three years building a marketplace sales model: first by selling directly on Amazon and other marketplaces, then by helping consumer brands navigate the same channels. By 2017, the company was working with nearly 100 brand partners across categories including home and garden, automotive, tools and hardware, and travel.

"We're extremely proud of what this team has accomplished in such a short period of time. Everyone at SupplyKick is honored to receive this designation and excited for what the rest of 2017 will bring."

— Josh Owens, who served as CEO at the time

The ranking came shortly after SupplyKick's 2017 Prime Day, which delivered a 189% sales increase over the prior year.

What Happened Next

The 2017 Fast 25 recognition wasn't a one-time spike. SupplyKick returned to the list in 2018, ranking #3 with 335% revenue growth from fiscal 2015 to 2017. That same year, the company won the TechPoint Mira Award for Scale-up of the Year in the $5M to $20M revenue category and appeared on the Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Companies list at #399.
