Idea Nest Honored with USF Fast 56 Recognition

Tampa Bay startup Idea Nest has been awarded 14th place in the USF list of the top 56 fastest-growing companies of 2021. Offering brand merchandising services, Idea Nest has had continued growth since opening in 2017 and now has the honor of being included in the USF Fast 56. The USF Fast 56 list celebrates the achievements of USF Alumni, comparing companies all over the world and creating a list of the top 56. The name of the Award and the number of companies included is a nod to USF’s year of foundation in 1956.

Mike Pasley, the founder of Tampa Bay startup Idea Nest, received his Masters of Science for Entrepreneurship in Applied Technologies at USF in 2016. Being included six years later as part of the USF Fast 56 is a proud moment for Idea Nest. It is also an honor to share the recognition with so many exceptional companies from around the world. 

Every year, there is a new USF Fast 56 list and awards are given based on revenue growth over a three-year period. Idea Nest has built its business in the world of Tampa startups by offering print-on-demand services, apparel and merch development, e-commerce merchandising, and more. Idea Nest hopes to continue growing in the years to come and is grateful to be recognized as one of the world’s fastest USF-alumni-owned companies.
