Well ain't this cool...and somewhat of a Surprise.
I'm currently heading back from Toronto, where I hosted Deloitte's Fast 50 Gala at the luxurious King Edward Hotel last night. Renowned as Canada's pre-eminent tech awards program, the Fast 50 honors biz growth, tech innovation and entrepreneurial spirit, and is part of Deloitte's continent-wide Fast 500.
Winners are ranked on five-year percentage revenue growth, and last year, my company, Airborne Entertainment, finished #4 in Canada, and #3 overall with a--get this--33,322% five-year growth percentage.
This year, I had totally forgot about our entry, and given that we're one year older (therefore starting our new five-year cycle at a much higher revenue base), didn't think much about our chances.
So go figure that when I read the list of the Top Ten, there's little ol' Airborne sitting pretty at #9.
Still gotta lotta lift left in these wings, it seems.
On my way to the airport...but frankly, I've been flying since last night.
