KITCHENER, November 9, 2017 — Vidyard, the new generation video platform for business, was recognized for rapid revenue growth, bold innovation and its entrepreneurial spirit with a Deloitte Technology Fast 50 program award. The Fast 50 program honours the 50 Canadian technology companies with the highest revenue-growth percentage over the past four years.

Vidyard ranked 16th with a growth rate of 2140%.

The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 program winners are made up of public and private companies in the technology sector that have transformed the industry. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the program augments the broader Deloitte North American Technology Fast 500™ initiative with winners automatically eligible for this elite ranking.

Vidyard’s CEO, Michael Litt, credits the company’s growth to a focus on innovation, culture and customer centricity. “We’ve always put our customers first,” Litt said. “We thrive on innovation and have an incredible engineering team, but we always focus on solving real customer problems and delivering the best possible customer experience.”

“New technologies have disrupted various industries in ways that were unimaginable a few years ago,” said Erica Pretorius, Partner and National Leader for the Technology Fast 50™ program at Deloitte Canada. “Fast 50 winners have led the way and I can’t wait to see where they take us next.”

To qualify for the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 ranking, companies must have been in business for at least four years, have revenues of at least $5 million, be headquartered in Canada, own proprietary technology, conduct research and development activities in Canada and invest a minimum of five percent of gross revenues in R&D.
