Venngo Inc. named one of Deloitte's Technology Fast 50™ companies
TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2014 /CNW/ - Venngo Inc., Canada's leading provider of private, fully managed group discount and engagement programs, is named as one of Canada's fastest growing technology companies in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50TM awards for technological innovation, entrepreneurship, rapid growth and leadership, based on the percentage of revenue growth over five years. Venngo ranked 27 with a 392 percent in revenue growth from 2009 to 2013.
"We have created a national network and proprietary platform based on a convergence of market trends and a growing need for organizations to provide more value and increase engagement. The wide acceptance of discounting in the marketplace, advances in mobile and web technologies, and a desire to uniquely engage employees, members and customers, have come together in Venngo's WorkPerks®, MemberPerks® and CustomerPerks® programs. Our programs are purposely designed to enable members to save money, extend an organizations corporate brand, and allow merchants to build a loyal customer base from our private audience of consumers", says Paul Weissman, Venngo's President and CEO. Today, over 1 million households have access to discounts from 1,200+ brand name and local merchants through Venngo's highly scalable technology platform — anytime, anywhere.

The program augments the broader Deloitte North American Technology Fast 500TM initiative with winners automatically eligible for this elite ranking.
"To be recognized as one of North America's Fasting-Growing Companies is the result of our ongoing desire to provide our customers with a unique engagement differentiator that truly adds value. To be ranked on both the Deloitte Technology Fast 50TM and the North America Technology Fast 500 is an honour and we thank our customers and team for getting us here," says Mr. Weissman.
