The two ASX shares in this article are ones that are growing their revenue and earnings capabilities at a fast pace.
One of the only similarities between the two businesses, besides the quick growth, is that they both begin with the letter P. In terms of the sector, one is a corporate bookmaker and the other is business that invests in fund managers and helps them grow.
The below two ASX shares are growing rapidly:

Pointsbet Holdings Ltd (ASX: PBH)
Pointsbet is a sports wagering operator and iGaming provider, offering sports and racing betting products and services direct to clients through its platform.
In August 2020, Pointsbet announced a media partnership with NBC Universal to become the official sports betting partner of NBC Sports in the US. Pointsbet explains this partnership provides the ASX share with access to leading national and regional television and digital assets, with the largest sports audience of any US media company, with over 184 million viewers.
The NBC deal is one of the 'pieces' of the strategy that Pointsbet believes can make it a market leader. Other parts of the strategy includes its leading brand ambassadors and its profitable Australian business coupled with "strong" US market share growth.
In FY21, Pointsbet experienced a 228% increase in turnover to $3.78 billion and a total net win increase of 154% to $208.5 million. In Australia, cash active clients jumped 117% year on year to 196,585. Meanwhile, US cash active clients jumped 661% to 159,321.
The ASX share continues to announce a steady increase of new partnerships in the US. The latest one was with Austin FC (from the Major League Soccer) to pursue opportunities in Texas. No bill has been passed in Texas, but it is expected that legislation will be introduced in upcoming sessions to permit sports betting to be offered by racetracks and professional sporting teams.
