PetalMD Makes it into Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 and Fast 500

Written by Patrice Gilbert, CEO | 18 November, 2020

In 2020, PetalMD shined nationally and in North America by entering the ranking of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 (Canada) and Technology Fast 500 (North America) programs. These awards are given to companies that showed rapid revenue growth, exemplary leadership and a strong engagement toward innovation.

The honors are a great addition to the many recognitions awarded to PetalMD over the past few years which highlight our innovative products, solid growth and the distinctive quality of our workplace.

 

20th Place in Canada

The Technology Fast 50 award recognizes the top 50 Canadian technology companies that have experienced the fastest growth over the past four years from among more than 43,000 Canadian information and communications technology (ICT) companies. For this, PetalMD ranks 20th with a 874% in revenue growth from 2016 to 2019.

 

136th Place in North America

Deloitte also generates a ranking for companies in North America, the Technology Fast 500. This ranking highlights the 500 fastest-growing technology, media and telecommunications companies in the United States and Canada. PetalMD is classed at 136th place in this ranking, out of an estimated 550,000 companies in this field in these two countries.

 

 

The Jury’s 4 Criteria: How PetalMD Stood Out

The jury based its choice on: competitive advantage, market size, growth and attractivity, management and organizational efficiency, as well as financial performance. To qualify, the companies had to:

  • have their headquarters in Canada,
  • be in business for at least four years,
  • generate at least 5 million dollars CAD in revenue,
  • own the technology, and
  • invest in research and development.
