Quebec, Montreal (PRWEB) November 14, 2013 -- Wajam (http://www.wajam.com), a leader in social search, won a Companies-to-Watch Award, as part of the annual Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ Awards for its innovative technology, management expertise and early stage growth.

The Companies-to-Watch Award honors early-stage Canadian technology companies in business for less than five years. These companies exemplify many of the winning characteristics of Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ ranked companies, which are judged based on the potential they show for future growth.

We are in good company with other leading start-ups Hootsuite and Frank & Oak.

“Companies-to-Watch are outstanding businesses that show high growth show potential,” said Richard Lee, Deloitte’s National Managing Partner, Technology, Media & Telecommunications. “Companies-to-watch winners often rank in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 once they have a five-year track record. They are the future technology leaders of Canada.”

“Being named one of Canada’s Companies-To-Watch just after receiving the innovation award at the PwC Vision to Reality Awards this week is quite an honor,” said Wajam CEO Martin-Luc Archambault. “We are in good company with leading start-ups including Hootsuite and Frank & Oak. Our team is focused on innovating search by enhancing popular search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing with social search results that matter. While we have figured out a way to bring social search to most places people search, we continue to develop better ways to deliver a more personal search experience both on the web and mobile so people can take their friend recommendations with them everywhere on multiple devices. We look forward to reaching the five-year mark and becoming a contender for one of Deloitte’s Top 50 spots in the future!”

To qualify for the Companies-to-Watch Award, candidates must have been operating less than five years. They must also be headquartered in Canada and devote a significant portion of their operating revenues to creating proprietary technology and/or intellectual property.
