We’d like to start 2025 with a piece of news we missed late last year: Site 20/20 of Dartmouth and WeyMedia of Dieppe, N.B., were both named to Deloitte’s prestigious Technology Fast 50 list of Canada’s fastest-growing startups.

Site 20/20 placed 31st on the list of meteoric Canadian startups in 2024, with revenue growth of 686 percent in the past four years. It was the second year in a row that Site 20/20 made the list. In 2023, it captured sixth place on the back of remarkable 2,392 percent revenue growth over four years.

The fintech company WeyMedia, which is best known for its CreditcardGenius product, was named to the Fast 50 for the first time when Deloitte announced the winners in November. It was the 46th fastest growing company in the country over the four-year period with revenue growth of 431 percent.

Led by CEO Mitch Hollohan, Site 20/20’s flagship product is the Guardian SmartFlagger, a piece of equipment designed to replace the human “flaggers” who direct traffic at construction sites. It includes a portable stoplight and a barrier that can be lowered to block traffic flow.

Hollohan founded the business in 2015 and launched the Guardian in 2017, under a revenue model whereby Site 20/20 leased the equipment to customers on an hourly basis. A single worker can control up to four of the machines using an iPad and video-monitoring software.

WeyMedia was co-founded by Stephen and Maria Weyman and launched CreditcardGenius in 2017 to give consumers an online tool for comparing different credit cards. The product today assesses 126 features on all 219 credit cards in its database.

The Technology Fast 50 ranks companies based on their revenue growth over a four-year period. The participants are required to give Deloitte access to audited financial statements and must already have revenue at the beginning of the four years. The 2024 winner was Neo Financial of Calgary, whose four-year revenue growth came in at a whopping 154,022 percent.

For the second year in a row, Mysa Smart Thermostats, headquartered in St. John’s, made Deloitte’s list of 15 fastest-growing cleantech companies, with revenue growth of 137 percent.

In 2021, Mysa was named to the consultancy’s Companies to Watch list. In the latest edition of the Fast 50, no Atlantic Canadian companies were named in the Companies to Watch segment.
