One of Canada’s leading business publications recently released their annual lists of fastest-growing Canadian companies. More than two dozen companies located in Waterloo made an appearance.
Canadian Business releases two lists each year – Growth 500 and Startup 50. The former ranks companies by 5-year revenue growth percentage and the latter ranks companies by 2-year revenue growth percentage.
In total, the report lists 11 Waterloo companies on the Growth 500 and another 4 on the Startup 50 representing a diversity of industries including tech, advanced manufacturing, professional services and construction.
However, we did a bit of research and found another 10 businesses with Waterloo operations across the two lists. Here’s a summary of Waterloo representation on the Growth 500 and Startup 50:
