The list honors companies based on a wide-range of quantitative metrics including scalability, sales and user growth, intellectual property and more. Platform Science was chosen amongst hundreds of top-tier contenders to make the final list, which was announced on November 12, 2019.
Founded in 2014, Platform Science fills a need in the transportation space that lets trucking fleets eliminate waste and save time and money.

To have the team's hard work honored by a nationally-recognized organization like CNBC is incredibly rewarding and makes us realize that we have entered a new phase on our road to revolutionize the transportation industry."
In 2019 alone, Platform Science has tripled its full-time headcount and moved into a new headquarters in La Jolla, CA. Now at 100 employees, the company plans to continue its rapid expansion by adding at least 20 more team members by the end of the year.
