We’ve been talking a lot about growth at Thinkific lately, and today is no exception! Fresh on the heels of a $22 million funding announcement, Canadian Business today ranked Thinkific 17th out of 415 companies on the 32nd annual Growth List, the definitive ranking of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies.

This ranking also placed Thinkific second on the list of fastest-growing companies in Vancouver and the third fastest-growing software company in Canada!

Produced by Canada’s premier business and current affairs media brands, the Growth List ranks Canadian businesses on five-year revenue growth. Growth List winners are profiled in a special print issue of Canadian Business published with Maclean’s magazine and online at CanadianBusiness.com and GrowthList.ca.

Thinkific made the 2020 Growth List with five-year revenue growth of 5696%.

“The companies on the 2020 Growth List are really exceptional. Their stories are a master- class in how to survive when the economy throws a curveball. Despite turbulence, the 2020 Growth List companies showed resilience, spirit and, most importantly, empathy and strong leadership,” says Susan Grimbly, Growth List Editor. “As we celebrate over 30 years of the Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies program, it’s encouraging to see that the heart of Canada’s entrepreneurial community beats strong, even in tough times.”

While the growth we’ve seen over the last five years has been incredible, we’re also looking forward to what lies ahead! As our company and our team continue to grow — we saw a 221% surge in new course creation as a result of the pandemic and are looking to add 350 amazing people to #TeamThinkific over the next 18 months — we’re excited to be able to empower even more entrepreneurs and continue to do impactful work each day.
