Propel Holdings today announced it ranked 500 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 29th year. Propel grew 234% during this period.
Propel’s Chief Executive Officer, Clive Kinross, credits AI-powered technology, best in class products and focus on organic, profitable growth with the company’s 234% revenue growth. He said, “Propel is thrilled to be named one of North America’s fastest-growing technology companies. Twelve years ago, we set out to build a new world of financial opportunity. To do this we built best-in-class technology, powered by AI, that facilitates credit to underserved consumers by going beyond credit scores used by traditional financial institutions. Our technology has been the foundation for our success. We’re just getting started.
“Each year we look forward to reviewing the progress and innovations of our Technology Fast 500 winners. This year is especially celebratory as we expand the number of winners to better represent just how many companies are developing new ideas to progress our society and the world, especially during a slow economy,” said Paul Silverglate, vice chair, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. “While software and services and life sciences continue to dominate the top 10, we are encouraged to see other categories making their mark. Congratulations to all the winners who show us how creativity, hard work and perseverance can lead to success.”
“As for growing companies, it’s always rewarding to be recognized for the ongoing commitment it takes to navigate obstacles, transform when necessary and ultimately create a thriving business,” said Christie Simons, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications within Deloitte’s audit and assurance practice. “Over the nearly 30 years we’ve been compiling the Technology Fast 500, we’ve seen new categories emerge, growth rates explode, and certain regional markets shine from the bright talent they attract. We are proud of all the winners for achieving this well-deserved honor.”
