We have just launched the TechScale200 – our list of 200 of the most exciting and fastest-growing tech companies in Europe.
Why do we need another list? Well, we believe that the hardest stage of any companies growth is as you push through 100 employees. Just operating effectively gets ten times harder, and the founder has to relinquish control.
It’s also just harder to maintain rapid growth at scale. Growing 100% from 5 to 10 staff or $100k to $200k is much easier than growing 100% from 100 to 200 staff or $10m to $20m.
Over the last four years, we have hosted over 1000 founders from businesses going through and past this transition and we wanted to celebrate that.
Putting the TechScale200 list together was incredibly hard and no doubt we have missed people that deserve to be on there. If so, let us know and we’ll look at that for next year.
We used a combination of data sources to compile the list – our detailed profile of founders that have attended Fast Growth Icons, data from our partners Dealroom, and recommendations from our VC partners.
Companies appearing on the TechScale200 list will have reached $20m in revenues or 100+ staff and had grown 50%+ in the last two years. Many are significantly larger and faster growing.
Congratulations if you have made it onto the list!
