Denver, CO, Nov. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Helix TCS, Inc. (OTCQB: HLIX) (the “Company”) today announced it ranked No. 32 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 25th year. Helix grew 3805% from 2015-2018.
Over the last 3 years, by maintaining a strong focus on operational excellence and a prudent M&A strategy, Helix has achieved 3805% revenue growth.
“We are honored to receive the distinction of being included on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500. Helix TCS’ growth and success are due to our focus on executing against our strategic plan, which includes M&A opportunities supported by consistent improvement in servicing our customers. We have made such enhancements as increased cash flow from operations, revenue and market share growth across an expanding number of business lines, and disciplined spending,” said Helix CEO and Executive Chairman Zachary L. Venegas. “We are in the unique cannabis industry position of not having a fundraising business model while moving towards profitability. Helix TCS represents a strong value opportunity given the months-long, indiscriminate industry sell off.”
“This year marks the 25th anniversary of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, so we are especially pleased to announce and congratulate the 2019 winners,” said Sandra Shirai, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP, and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader. “Once again, we saw innovation across the board, with software companies continuing their dominance of the top ten. It’s always inspiring to see how the Fast 500 companies are transforming business and the world we live and work in.”
“As technology innovation trends towards ‘everything as a service,’ it’s no surprise that software companies dominate the winners list yet again this year,” said Mohana Dissanayake, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications, within Deloitte’s audit and assurance practice. “What’s exciting about celebrating 25 years of the Tech Fast 500 is we now have a quarter century of innovation stories to draw and reflect upon. These are the companies that push boundaries, help organizations become more efficient and productive, and ultimately enable businesses to drive growth and revenue. We congratulate all the well-deserving winners.”
