2022 Winners

Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship’s Dallas 100™ Ranks Top Entrepreneurial Companies 

Dallas (SMU) Nov. 2, 2022 – Using proprietary technology, Irving-based ShiftKey helps combat the national health shortage by directly connecting healthcare professionals with healthcare facilities that have immediate shift vacancies. Established in 2016, company sales have grown more than 2,000% over the past three years, which puts ShiftKey at the top of the 2022 Dallas 100™ ranking of fastest-growing privately held companies. The ÃÛÌÒ½´Cox Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship revealed ShiftKey’s rank and the rankings of the area’s top entrepreneurial companies from 100 to one at the annual Dallas 100 Awards Gala Wednesday, Nov.2 at the Dallas Hyatt Regency.

"We are pleased to recognize this year’s No. 1 Dallas 100 company for ‘doing well by doing well,’” says Simon Mak, executive director of the Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship at the ÃÛÌÒ½´Cox School of Business. “During the peak of COVID, healthcare facilities struggled to staff their shifts 24/7. The platform that ShiftKey provided was literally a lifesaver. It's easy to see why the company experienced such phenomenal growth over the past three years.”

To qualify for the Dallas 100 competition, companies must have revenue earnings of $500,000 to $100 million dollars. Collectively, the 2022 Dallas 100-ranked companies generated more than $9 billion from 2019 to 2021, the last year for which complete financial records are available. Over that same time, all 100 companies created more than 12,000 jobs and grew average sales by 141%. In 2021 alone, all 100 companies together generated sales of over $4.5 billion. According to Mak, that’s a Dallas 100 record high for the last 13 years.

“These companies deserve recognition for their contributions to the area economy, especially over the past three years when the pandemic took a huge toll on how we all live and do business,” says Mak. “They did so much more than survive—they all thrived.”

The Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship ranks the area’s top 100 entrepreneurial companies based on percentage growth and absolute dollar growth over the previous three years, emphasizing their economic contributions to the Dallas area economy. The winners represent a broad spectrum of Dallas-area businesses.
The Caruth Institute, working with the accounting firm FORVIS, LLP examined sales from hundreds of companies for 2019 to 2021. The winners represent Dallas and 16 surrounding cities.
