Dallas-based HighLevel was the second-highest-ranked North Texas company, landing at No. 116 with 781% growth. The company uses AI in its all-in-one sales, marketing, and customer relationship management platform.
Now in its 31st year, the Fast 500 program selected companies based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth from 2021 to 2024.
This year’s Technology Fast 500 companies reported revenue growth ranging from 29,738% for Atlanta-based Impiricus, this year’s No. 1, to 122% for San Francisco’s Nozomi Networks at No. 500, with an average growth rate of 1,079% over the three-year period.
“This year’s rankings highlight both enduring leadership and breakthrough growth,” Wolfe Tone, US Deloitte private & emerging client portfolio leader, said in a statement. “More than half of the winners are prior honorees, yet the majority of the top 10 are first-time entrants—demonstrating the staying power of established leaders alongside the accelerating growth of new innovators across key sectors.”
“As in previous years, private companies continue to dominate,” Tone added, “underscoring the agility that private enterprises bring to competitive markets, enabling the exceptional triple and quadruple digit growth reflected in these rankings.”
