Vancouver, Canada (March 2, 2016) — We did it again! Jostle Corporation returns to the annual Rocket Builders’ lists of BC technology companies predicted to be growth leaders in 2016. 30 companies were selected for the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) list. The median revenue growth rate on the 2015 list was 50%, with six companies exceeding 100%, including Jostle Corporation.
“It’s nice to be recognized for more than doubling our revenue again,” observed Brad Palmer, CEO of Jostle Corporation. “Even more motivating is watching our customers transform their workplace cultures and achieve unheard-of levels of employee engagement.”
According to the Ready to Rocket website, the annual “Ready to Rocket” lists have delivered 14 years of accurate predictions. The lists identify private companies in BC that will likely experience significant growth, venture capital investment or acquisition by a major player in the coming year. The lists cover three different technology sectors: Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Cleantech (CT), and Life Science (LS).
The 2015 Ready to Rocket list for the ICT sector performed extremely well. The list as a whole represented the creation of over 378 jobs (42% headcount growth), contributing to BC’s economic growth. “We also made substantive progress on establishing a worldwide business this past year. 92% of our new business is now from outside Canada,” added Palmer.
“I’ve had the opportunity to interview most of the companies on our lists,” said Reg Nordman, Managing Partner at Rocket Builders. “The diversity of solutions, maturing skill sets of management, and the resulting increased ability to address large markets is becoming a strength of the BC Technology landscape.”
We’re proud and excited to be recognized by Rocket Builders, and to be an ongoing contributor to the BC Technology industry. Onwards and upwards!
