The 20 MSP Named to Prestigious SMU Cox Dallas 100™ List 

The 20 MSP Makes Annual List Recognizing Fastest Growing, Privately-Held, Dallas-Based Businesses 

Full Press Release 

The 20 MSP, a leading provider of managed IT services, is pleased to announce its second appearance on the distinguished SMU Cox Dallas 100™ list, ranking sixteenth this year. This annual honor recognizes the one hundred fastest-growing privately held companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, evaluated based on their growth and performance over the past three years. This year’s winners were revealed on Tuesday, November 12 at the Dallas 100™ Entrepreneur Awards Gala. 

 

Presented by the Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship at the SMU COX School of Business, the Dallas 100™ celebrates the resolve and innovative spirit of area entrepreneurs, along with their contributions to job creation and the overall economic health of the region. 

 

Collectively, the companies recognized by the Dallas 100™ have achieved an annual growth rate of 1000% from 2021 to 2023, while creating 29,510 new jobs in 2023 alone. The 20’s leadership team considers it a tremendous honor to be recognized alongside such high-achieving organizations. 

 

“There’s no shortage of entrepreneurial talent in the DFW area, so to be included on such an exclusive and prestigious list is truly an honor,” shared Tim Conkle, The 20’s founder and CEO. “We’re a company with a national footprint, but we got our start here in Dallas – and it’s where our heart remains. That makes this recognition especially meaningful. I’m just proud of my team, as well as the incredible companies that call DFW their home. A huge thanks to the Caruth Institute and the Dallas 100™ sponsors for shining a light on this dynamic business community.” 

 

This accolade comes as The 20 continues its national expansion, fueled by strategic acquisitions that have broadened the company’s service offerings while garnering significant industry attention. The 20’s unique M&A approach focuses on integrating MSPs from The 20’s membership-based growth platform, The 20 MSP Group. To date, The 20 has successfully completed thirty-six acquisitions, further solidifying its position as a leader in the managed IT services space. 

 

As Conkle explained, The 20’s consolidation strategy seeks to amplify MSP owners’ talents, expertise, and unique insights. “We’re growing because our clients are growing – and their IT needs are multiplying,” said Conkle. “This is about building a powerhouse of knowledge and capabilities that make us all better – especially the businesses we serve.” 

 

The 20 MSP is poised to continue its rapid expansion in the coming year, with a full pipeline of acquisition candidates and a continued commitment to organic growth.
