We made the list. One of a select few Polish companies to do so.
It's proof that our model works: design that genuinely drives business outcomes. Not just pretty interfaces, but products that convert, retain, and grow - it’s what clients increasingly recognise and invest in.
Which makes us pretty proud.
Every year, the Financial Times and Statista rank the 1,000 fastest-growing companies in Europe by revenue growth. Landing on this list means demonstrating real, organic growth, without shortcuts or tricks. Just consistent performance. This year, we're on it.
The FT1000 isn't a "pay to play" ranking. There's no shortlisting committee you can charm over coffee. Statista measures compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2023, and the top 1,000 companies in Europe make the cut. Plain and simple.
How we got here
Nothing happens by accident.
Since 2018, Widelab has grown from a small Polish design studio into a team of 100+ designers and developers working with scale-ups and product companies across 25 countries. We've shipped products that helped clients grow, empowered them to gather billions in funding rounds, and just last year, launched Widehue, our dedicated brand and marketing design arm.
The growth you see in a ranking like this is the sum of hundreds of individual decisions: hiring people who care about craft, staying focused on product design and development rather than trying to do everything, and building partnerships rather than just client relationships.
This year we also launched Wideset - a Figma-based design system built for product designers, developers, and startup teams who need to move fast without sacrificing consistency. It's the kind of product that could only come from a team that has shipped hundreds of interfaces: we packaged what we know into something anyone can use. That felt like a natural next step for us - from doing the work, to enabling others to do it better.
We kept the work good, and the numbers followed.
What it means for what comes next
Making the FT1000 is a milestone, not a destination. We're going to keep doing exactly that - just with a bit more wind in our sails.
If you're building something and want a team that treats your growth as seriously as ours, let's talk.
