Great news to share! On 5 November, the 27th edition of the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 was presented at Het Scheepvaartmuseum (the National Maritime Museum) in Amsterdam, and my.host is on the list again. This year we finished in 20th place. After our 16th place last year, this means we are among the fastest-growing technology companies in the Netherlands for the second year in a row.
What is the Technology Fast 50?
The Technology Fast 50 is Deloitte’s annual ranking of the fifty fastest-growing tech companies in the Netherlands. The ranking is based on percentage revenue growth over the past four years. You can find the full list of winners on Deloitte’s website.
Twice in a row says more than once
A first listing in the Fast 50 is a great moment. A second listing may say even more. Because the ranking looks at growth over a four-year period, coming back means our growth was not a spike, but a trend that continues.
Every year the field is reshuffled, and the growth figures at the top of the list are impressive: winner Intelic grew by more than 10,000 percent in four years. Being in the top 20 again in that company, as a business that is now considerably larger than it was four years ago, makes us extra proud.
Award ceremony at Het Scheepvaartmuseum
The ceremony took place at Het Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam: a fitting setting for a room full of entrepreneurs setting a course for growth. From smart water dispensers to sustainable electronics, and from batteries to software, it was great to see how broad the Dutch tech sector is. We are happy that hosting has a place in it too.
On our own strength
Just like last year, we are proud to have achieved this growth entirely on our own, without external investors or growth funds.
Last year our listing was a pleasant surprise; this year it mostly feels like confirmation. And the best part is that this growth comes from customers who stay with us and recommend us to others.
That growth and quality can go hand in hand was already shown earlier this year in the Emerce 100, where we received 5.5 stars for the second year in a row from customers and decision-makers in the e-business sector.
Thank you
This listing is not ours alone. We are grateful for the trust of our customers, partners and our team. Thanks to you, we can keep doing what we are good at: making hosting better, smarter and fairer, with the same down-to-earth mentality we started with. On to next year!
