Deloitte, an accounting and consulting firm with a worldwide presence, released its 2022 Technology Fast 500 rankings on Wednesday. The 28th annual list of North America’s fastest-growing tech companies featured 25 companies headquartered in Los Angeles and Orange County. This count is only a handful shy of last year’s total of 29.
Companies on the list were chosen based on their fiscal year revenue growth between 2018 and 2021 and ranked based on their percentage growth rate. The technology sector, as well as the media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech and energy tech industries, are represented on the list.
Leading the way for the SoCal tech scene at rank No. 4 is Axonics, an Irvine-based medical device manufacturer that ranked in the No. 1 slot on last year’s list. The company recorded a 25,401 percent growth rate over the past three years.
“Los Angeles and Orange County have established themselves as a premier location for innovation, especially in the technology, media and entertainment and life sciences sectors,” Terry Feit, Deloitte’s LA managing partner, said in a statement. “We are excited to see continued growth from companies that are making a difference in their spaces and in the greater Southern California community.”
