VANCOUVER, BC (November 18th, 2021) Launchpad Technologies Inc. ("Launchpad" or "the Company"), a leading provider of next-generation integration platform capabilities and custom integration services for process workflow automation, applications and data integrations, is honoured to have been named Company of the Year in the "Growth" category by BC Tech's 2021 Technology Impact Awards (BCTIA). The annual award acknowledges a high growth company demonstrating outstanding performance and potential to grow further.

"We’d like to extend our appreciation to BC Tech for this recognition for outstanding growth as a tech company,” said Launchpad Founder and Principal, Bruce Qi. "We’d also like to extend our congratulations to our fellow finalists, Acuva, PrecisionOS, and Riipen. We're very honoured and encouraged to be counted among such an amazing lineup of BC's finest in the tech space, as well as everyone else who poured so much of their passion and support into BC Tech over this past year."

Qi added: “As a people-first principled company, our growth is always about more than just numbers and revenues, but we're proud to have created 704% revenue growth in the past two years with no outside investment. It's a real testament to the tremendous team we've been building over nearly four years now. Looking back to 2018 when Launchpad started, I put down $500 as the starting seed to prove that a tech company with vision here in BC can build something from nothing.”

Since starting on January 1st, 2018, Launchpad has grown rapidly, from a one-person team to more than 40 talented individuals in multiple locations in North and South America, achieving $3.78M in revenue by 2020. The Company is now on track to achieve 2,028% 4-year revenue growth, and is shifting gears into its Phase 3 of Strategic Growth Plan to scale even faster. Along the way, Launchpad has grown organically while building a long list of delighted clients that includes Fortune 500 companies such as TIME Magazine, Cruise (General Motors Autonomous Vehicle), Silicon Valley Bank, Splunk, Salesforce, and BC and Canadian organizations such as O2E Brands (1-800-Got-Junk), FinCAD, Spence Diamonds and Safe Software, and more.

Qi added: “I want to thank Gord Boisvert, Megan Hollstedt, Warren Wong, Jose Luis Lavin, and Yoseph Chandra, our Launchpad teams in Canada, the US and Latin America, for your dedication, energy and wisdom in creating a high performing and People-First culture. I want to thank all the family units behind each one of us, you are the foundation and support of how we do what we do. I want to thank our partners, clients, and especially BC Tech, for your unwavering support, and for creating a unified voice and soul for our tech scene here in BC. As we head into our next phase of expansion, we look forward to continuing to give back to BC Tech and the greater tech community with the aim of becoming an anchor company within the BC tech space."
