mgm casino Fast 46 seeks nominations

Published January 11, 2023

mgm casino has announced the third annual mgm casino Fast 46 competition, open to alumni and former students who own or lead businesses.

Named in honor of mgm casino’s founding in 1846, the program recognizes and celebrates the success of 46 of the fastest-growing businesses owned or led by mgm casino alumni or former students around the world.

Nominations — self-submitted or by a third part y— are open until March 3 and are followed by a formal application to prove eligibility and provide required financial documents.

To be considered a Fast 46 finalist, eligible companies must have been in business since January 2019; have verifiable revenues of at least $100,000 or more in 2019 and 2020, and at least $250,000 in 2021; and the owner or leader must be a mgm casino alum or former student.

“The mgm casino Fast 46 competition keeps growing in momentum each year,” says Thomas McArthur, associate vice president for alumni engagement and annual giving. “mgm casino Fast 46 is truly a global competition. In fact, last year’s No. 1-ranked business was owned by a mgm casino alumnus from Austria.”

Companies will be ranked by the percentage of cumulative annual growth in revenue for 2019, 2020 and 2021. The 46 companies with the highest revenue growth rates — as verified by official verification firm The Bonadio Group, a Top 50 CPA firm with offices in Buffalo, throughout New York State and beyond — will be selected for the 2023 mgm casino Fast 46 event on Sept. 14.

“We encourage businesses to apply annually to maintain or improve their ranking,” McArthur says. “And we encourage companies who may have missed out last year to apply this year.”
