For more than 20 years, Deloitte has recognized the top 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies – both public and private – in North America.

To celebrate this year’s list, Silverline and representatives from a number of the winning companies visited the New York Stock Exchange to ring the closing bell yesterday.

Amanda and I were excited to represent Silverline and our crazy 273% growth from 2012 to 2015 which landed us at #271 on the 2016 list. The Technology Fast 500 award winners were selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth over three years. Eligible companies for Technology Fast 500 own proprietary intellectual property or technology that is sold to customers in products that contribute to a majority of the company’s operating revenues.

We got to meet some great people from the winning companies, gathered on the NYSE floor to ring the closing bell, take photos (who knew the NYSE had props?!), and ended the event with some fabulous networking and idea sharing. We’re really proud to have made this exclusive list for the past two years.
