Beddy’s growth has been recognized as one of Mountain West Capital’s Emerging Elite in 2017 and just four years after launch\, Beddy’s was named #270 on Inc’s 5000 after demonstrating a four-year growth of 2\,610%. \nThe Inc. 5000 list also revealed that Beddy’s ranked #9 as one of the 10 fastest-growing private companies in Utah.
