We are entering the last quarter of 2020 for the third year in a row with a nomination for the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and for the fourth time with an FD Gazellen Award! Both awards will take place digitally this year, but that doesn't make it any less valuable. In this blog, you can read more about the nomination and the award.
In 2018, we debuted in Deloitte's ranking and took 8th place. In 2019, we finished at number 34 and this year we are also in the list of fastest growing technology companies in the Netherlands!
The selection is based on the percentage of sales growth over the past four years (2016 to 2019). Fun fact: this year, Yellowgrape is the only agency in the list of 50 organizations. The overview of all nominees can be found here.
Last year, the ranking was announced in the form of a festive dinner. Unfortunately, our tuxedos and prom dresses are still hanging in the closet this year and we will have to make do with a digital champagne moment on Wednesday, November 25. To be continued!
For the fourth year in a row, Yellowgrape is an FD Gazelle! The FD Gazellen Awards are recognitions that Het Financieel Dagblad awards to the fastest growing companies in the Netherlands. The most important criterion for this is a turnover growth of at least 20% over a period of three years (2017-2019). Since 2018, the ranking has also included the growth in the number of employees and the profitability of an organization. With this, the FD wants to give the price a better balanced basis. This year, the list includes 772 companies.
Other criteria include uninterrupted sales growth over the three-year period, a minimum turnover of €250,000 in the first year, a positive net result in the last year and a maximum of one year of loss in the previous two years.
Companies are divided into twelve categories, consisting of four regions and three levels of turnover. The FD Gazellen Awards ceremony for the West region will take place on November 19, 2020.
