ST.

The Fast 50 program evaluates three years of revenue growth. Each participating company must submit audited or reviewed financial statements in order to qualify for the program. Inclusion signals durable momentum, not just a single year spike.
“Building a high-growth startup is tough, and we’ve faced the added challenge that our customers are conservative about adopting new technology,” says Adam Keating, Co-Founder & CEO of CoLab. “I’m incredibly proud of the grit our team has shown over the last eight years to become one of Canada’s fastest-growing tech companies. We achieved this recognition even before launching our first AI agent, AutoReview, this summer — which is now accelerating our momentum. This is truly Day 0 of a new chapter.”
With this recognition, CoLab joins a long line of Canadian scale-ups that have appeared on the Fast 50 and gone on to be household names in tech. Historic lists have featured companies like Shopify and Hootsuite, underscoring the program’s track record of identifying future market leaders.
Although the key criteria for the program is revenue growth, Fast 50 leadership notes that inclusion on the list is also a signal of resilience and a willingness to make bold bets:
“This year’s Technology Fast 50 program winners exemplify how Canada’s tech leaders are rising above external headwinds, demonstrating both resilience and readiness to go big,” said Brendan Cooper, partner and national co-leader for the Technology Fast 50 program at Deloitte Canada, in a release. “With representation across the country these companies are fueling a new wave of growth that will position Canada as a global force in technology and innovation. We’re excited to celebrate their achievements and champion their ongoing success.”
