GrowJo announces 10k fastest growing companies and Ukrainian companies are included

The GrowJo project has released a list of 10,000 fastest growing technology companies. Unlike traditional rankings, like Inc 5000 and Fortune 500, the selection process was automatic — they did not have to apply or pay to get into the list. GrowJo also takes into account only companies with staff below 1,000 employees.

The startup analyzes up to 20 different metrics about the business to display its own index, taking into account funding, recruitment rates, and other indicators. According to the GrowJo algorithm, the higher the final rating is the more chance of successful development the company has.

A list of 10,000 companies is available for free. The list includes only companies with registration in the US and Canada, Western Europe, India, and Australia. The top place was taken by Lime, an American service that provides electric scooters for rent.
