Fast-growing Madison logistics technology startup SwanLeap has again taken the top spot in a prominent industry growth ranking.
SwanLeap is No. 1 on Deloitte’s 2018 North America Technology Fast 500, with a three-year growth rate of 77,260 percent from 2014 to 2017.
The Technology Fast 500 ranks the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America, based on three-year percentage revenue growth.
Also in the top 10 was Madison-based biotechnology firm Exact Sciences Corp., which placed eighth at 14,694 percent three-year growth. Exact Sciences developed Cologuard, a stool DNA test for colorectal cancer.
There were no other Wisconsin companies on the list.
In August, SwanLeap was also No. 1 on the 2018 Inc. 5000 list, which ranked the fastest-growing private companies in America based on percentage revenue growth from 2014 to 2018. Those companies were required to have $100,000 or more in 2014 revenue and greater than $2 million in 2017 revenue. SwanLeap chief executive officer Brad Hollister projected $400 million in 2018 revenue at that time.
The company has 80 employees, 50 of whom are based in Madison. On average, SwanLeap’s real-time shipping analytics and logistics software allows companies to save 27.6 percent on shipping costs.
More than 40 Wisconsin companies were ranked on the Inc. 5000 list.
