Upcoming is not hyphenated. How about rising or growing as alternatives?

Upcoming is not hyphenated, but doesn't really mean what you want here. It means 'coming soon' or 'approaching.' You might want, as someone suggested, "up and coming" which means successful, promising or gaining prominence.

It should be "up-and-coming" firm. As opposed to an "upcoming" date. I think hyphenation is proper.

"Upcoming" is one word; no hyphen.

The web is chock full of thesauruses (thesauri?).
Just enter "thesaurus" into your favorite search engine.

Since you didn't indicate the company name or product/service, I'll pretend it's a one-man operation started by a high school kid, so I would have written, "an electrodynamic and funky fresh company..." ;)

'a young and enterprising firm'
'a young and dynamic firm'
'a young and visionary firm'

upcoming does not have a hyphen.

No it is not hyphenated.

Try, "a young and favourable firm".
