Loopio Ranked 13th Fastest Growing Company on Deloitte’s 2019 Technology Fast 50™ List

Toronto, November 7, 2019 — Loopio, the leader in RFP response software, ranked 13th in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ Awards for its rapid revenue growth and bold innovation. The Fast 50 program recognizes Canada’s 50 fastest-growing technology companies with the highest revenue-growth percentage over the past four years.

Loopio also ranked 98th on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™ list. Now in its 25th year, the Fast 500 is an elite ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, and energy tech companies in North America.

CEO Zak Hemraj says Loopio’s success is a result of building a strong team that’s focused on fixing the RFP response process. “Winning a Deloitte Fast 50 Award validates that we’re on the path to building a world-class company. To us, this means being a place where people come to learn and grow, and solve important problems for our customers. I believe that every business on this list carries the same spirit, and we couldn’t be more proud to be in such great company.”

“This year marks the 25th anniversary of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, so we are especially pleased to announce and congratulate the 2019 winners,” said Sandra Shirai, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP, and US technology, media, and telecommunications leader. “Once again, we saw innovation across the board, with software companies continuing their dominance of the top ten. It’s always inspiring to see how the Fast 500 companies are transforming business and the world we live and work in.”

“In an era of rapid and constant change, Fast 50 companies should be incredibly proud of the impact they are making across all industries, as they foster the economic prosperity and success of our country,” said Erica Pretorius, Partner and National Leader for the Technology Fast 50™ program at Deloitte Canada. “Their bold vision, unrivaled growth and true commitment to innovation allow them to not only improve today’s world, but also shape tomorrow’s, and I can’t wait to see where they take us moving forward.”
