Canada’s top 50 fastest-growing startup companies 2019

Last week, we featured a list of top ten startup companies to work in the United States. The list is based on on survey conducted by the popular professional social network site, LinkedIn. Today, we are moving up north to Canada to find the 2019 list of Canada’s top new growth startup companies, also called Startup 50.

The Canada’s Top New Growth Companies for 2019 was ranked by Canadian Business, the longest-serving and most-trusted business publication in the country, and Maclean’s. The Startup 50 profiles the fastest-growing startups in the country. It is a companion list to the Growth 500 ranking of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies, which has, for over 30 years, been Canada’s most respected and influential ranking of entrepreneurial achievement.

Ranking Canada’s Top New Growth Companies by two-year revenue growth, the Startup 50 profiles the fastest-growing startups in the country. It is a companion list to the Growth 500 ranking of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies, which has, for over 30 years, been Canada’s most respected and influential ranking of entrepreneurial achievement.

Methodology

The Startup 50 ranks businesses on two-year revenue growth. In order to be eligible, a company must have been founded and generating revenue between July 1, 2013 and early 2016. All companies voluntarily applied to participate in the program. We shortlisted companies based on revenue figures supplied on a brief self-nominating ballot, then verified eligibility and revenue claims through detailed questionnaires and reviews of applicant-supplied financial statements. Companies must have generated minimum revenue of at least $1 million in the most recent fiscal year to qualify. Growth rates were calculated using a base-year minimum of $200,000.
