Deloitte, an accounting and consulting firm with a worldwide presence, released its 2022 Technology Fast 500 rankings on Wednesday. The 28th annual list of North America’s fastest-growing tech companies featured 27 businesses headquartered in Seattle. This count is an increase from last year’s total of 24 and sets a record for the number of Seattle-based names to make the list.
Companies on the list were chosen based on their fiscal year revenue growth between 2018 and 2021 and ranked based on their percentage growth rate. The technology sector, as well as the media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech and energy tech industries, are represented on the list.
Leading the way for the Seattle tech scene at no. 10 on the national list is Vontive, a fintech company that operates within the real estate sector. The company recorded 9,154 percent growth over the past three years. This is a huge leap from last year when the topmost-ranking Seattle company was in slot no. 78.
“It was a tremendous year of growth for the technology industry here in the Pacific Northwest, especially when it comes to software and services, life sciences and fintech companies,” Don Heisler, a Seattle-based Deloitte representative, said in a statement. “For the second year in a row, the Pacific Northwest is in the top five regions with the fastest-growing technology companies with 27 winners, which is the most so far. We are so proud to witness this milestone and we look forward to a bright future of innovation within our Seattle community and the Pacific Northwest.”
