Austin, Texas (PRWEB) November 16, 2016
Phunware, whose Multiscreen as a Service (MaaS) platform helps brands engage, manage and monetize their anytime, anywhere mobile application users worldwide, today announced it ranked 165 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, marking the company’s third consecutive appearance on the national list.
“Our continued growth is a true testament to our team and our commitment to relentless innovation,” said Phunware co-founder and CEO Alan S. Knitowski. “We are honored to be a part of this prestigious group of companies setting the bar for success in their industries, and we look forward to continuing to help today’s most recognized brands find success in mobile in 2017.”
The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 provides a ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies—both public and private—in North America. Winning companies are selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth from 2011 to 2014.
Phunware’s third inclusion on the list comes after a year of record growth, with the company operating at an annualized bookings run rate of approximately $70 million. Following the recent launch of Phunware Data and the company’s announcement of $22 million in additional Series F funding, the Deloitte recognition is the latest in a series of accolades the company has received in the last year. In addition to being named to the Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies for the third consecutive year, Phunware is a two-time Forbes’ Most Promising Companies in America honoree and a five-time Austin Business Journal Fast 50 recipient. Phunware also recently took home three global and national accolades during Advertising Week 2016.
“This year’s Fast 500 winners showcase that when organizations are open to diverse perspectives and insights, they are able to create an environment for their employees and customers to see the possibilities and ingenious solutions that might lie ahead,” added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging growth company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “Entrepreneurial environments foster change and innovation within businesses, and we look forward to watching these companies continue to drive change across all sectors.”
