Plano, TX, Aug. 30, 2022 – Critical Start Recognized as a Leading IT Solution Provider for Exceptional Sales Performance – Critical Start, a leading provider of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) cybersecurity solutions, announced today that it has earned a prestigious spot on the 2022 Fast Growth 150 list, published annually by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company®, landing at number 79. The CRN Fast Growth 150 list recognizes the fastest-growing North American IT solution providers and technology integrators for significant sales growth—driven by forward-thinking business strategy, strong technology know-how and services prowess—demonstrated over the previous two years.
“Being recognized as a Fast Growth 150 company for the second consecutive year is an honor and a true testament to the value we have provided to our customers over the last twelve months,” said Rob Davis, Founder and CEO of Critical Start. “We are grateful for the hard work and dedication of our valued channel partners who have contributed to our ongoing success, and we look forward to continuing to provide the solutions and services necessary to help combat today’s cyber threats.”
To maintain consistent growth within the highly competitive and rapidly evolving IT industry, solution providers need to constantly evolve to keep ahead of consistent changes within the market. CRN’s Fast Growth 150 list acknowledges companies that have crossed this lofty threshold and demonstrated an ongoing dedication toward success and innovation.
“Despite the near-constant disruptions and unforeseen challenges today’s IT companies face, they must still be ready to adapt and change at a moment’s notice. With the CRN 2022 Fast Growth 150 list, we honor those IT solution providers that have managed to thrive in an industry where stability is often a luxury,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “The companies that earned spots on this year’s list represent the very best in business acumen and strategy, inspiring fellow industry members and proving that with perseverance, meaningful growth is attainable in even the most chaotic business climates. On behalf of CRN and The Channel Company, I wish a heartfelt congratulations and continued success to all companies featured on the 2022 Fast Growth 150 list.”
In the last three years, Critical Start has grown annual recurring revenue by more than 400% and diversified its channel network across 90 channel partners through its integrations with third-party cybersecurity software providers. In April 2022, the company secured a $215 million strategic investment from Vista Equity Partners to help further develop technology, product and service offerings and meaningfully expand its talented teams to meet the massive market demand.
