TORONTO, Nov. 7, 2019: Daisy’s strong growth continues to
attract industry accolades.
Today, Deloitte Canada announced that Daisy is among its
Companies-to-Watch winners in its annual technology awards
program. The program celebrates Canada’s fast-growing
technology, media, and telecommunications companies.
Daisy’s selection as a company to watch reflects the
company’s strong growth and increasing profile. Earlier
this year, Daisy was named by the Globe & Mail's
Report on Business as
one of Canada’s top growing companies
and won the Canadian Fintech 3.0 Summit’s Future of Retail
pitch battle.
“It’s an honour for Daisy to be ranked among Canada's most
exciting tech companies,” said Gary Saarenvirta, Daisy’s
founder and CEO. “The recognition reflects the efforts of
our team and the collaboration with our customers, which
enables our autonomous AI system to deliver significantly
improved financial results for our customers.”
Companies-to-Watch winners are new companies headquartered
in Canada that demonstrate superior technology, effective
management experience, and common traits of Deloitte
Technology Fast 50 award winners. To be eligible,
candidates must also devote a significant portion of their
operating revenues to creating proprietary technology or
intellectual property.
“Companies-to-Watch winners deserve recognition for their
early-stage growth, bold entrepreneurship and
forward-thinking,” said Erica Pretorius, Partner and
National Leader for the Technology Fast 50™ program at
Deloitte Canada. “By demonstrating courage, seeking
opportunities, and taking calculated risks, these
outstanding companies are key to the success of the
technology sector. Every winner should feel a sense of
pride for this success, and motivation to continue
striving to succeed in the future.”
