VeloMetro Mobility named to 2019 “Emerging Rocket” List
Rocket Builders Names Top Technology Companies To the “Ready to Rocket” lists for 17th Consecutive Year to Highlight Companies with Highest Growth Potential
March 12, 2019 (Vancouver, BC) – VeloMetro Mobility Inc. was named to the “Emerging Rocket” list for Cleantech. This is the second consecutive year VeloMetro has been named to this list.
Rocket Builders today released its seventeenth (17th) annual “Ready to Rocket” lists. These lists profile British Columbia technology companies that are best positioned to capitalize on the technology sector trends that will lead them to faster growth than their peers. Rocket Builders also released results from its 2018 lists, with strong revenue growth across all sectors. As is typical with this list, companies profiled tend to attract investment, partnerships and even get acquired. This year, the two notable acquisitions were the exits by Mazza Innovations and S2G Biochemicals.
The annual 2019 “Ready to Rocket” lists provide accurate predictions of private companies that will likely experience significant growth, venture capital investment or acquisition by a major player in the coming year. This year the lists feature 203 companies across 5 different technology sectors:
- Information and Communications Technology (ICT) - 85 companies
- Cleantech (CT) - 39 companies
- Life Science (LS) - 20 companies
- Digital Health (DH) - 39 companies
- Agri-Food (AF) - 20 companies
The “Ready to Rocket” lists are the only predictive lists of its kind in North America, requiring many months of sector and company analysis. The 2019 Lists feature 85 “Ready to Rocket” technology growth companies and 118 “Emerging Rocket” early stage startups.
“Over the 17 years of the program, the B.C. technology sector has steadily grown each year, and presents a growing challenge to select and identify the most likely to succeed for our Ready to Rocket lists.” said Geoffrey Hansen, Managing Partner at Rocket Builders. “In recent years, a startup economy has blossomed yielding a rich field of companies for our consideration, with over 450 companies reviewed to make our selections of 203 winners. Our Emerging Rocket lists enables us to profile those earlier stage companies that are well positioned for investment.”
The 2018 Ready to Rocket list for Cleantech performed extremely well. The majority of companies on the list had in excess of 75% growth, and the lists together created over 200 jobs in 2018. The 2019 Ready to Rocket list for Cleantech features 19 companies, while the Emerging Rocket list features 20 companies.
According to Dave Thomas, Senior Partner at Rocket Builders, “The Cleantech sector in B.C. continues to see growth and diversity with noteworthy examples in waste management and in alternative energy.”
