Upside Secures #293 Spot on 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, Maintaining Recognition for Third Consecutive Year

Washington, DC, November 14, 2023 — Upside announced today it ranked #293 nationally on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America. Upside's impressive 452% growth during this period is attributed to its ongoing investments in grocery and restaurant offerings, along with expansion into new categories like hardware.  These strategic initiatives are fueling adoption and fortifying the platform's cross-vertical engagement.

"We're grateful for the recognition of our sustained growth for the third year in a row. However, what truly fills me with pride is the ongoing positive impact we're making on the world," shared Alex Kinnier, Upside's co-founder, and CEO. "To date, we've returned $575 million in cash to our users, generated $1.3 billion in profit for our retailer partners, and allocated 1% of our revenue to support sustainability initiatives."

“Each year we look forward to reviewing the progress and innovations of our Technology Fast 500 winners. This year is especially celebratory as we expand the number of winners to better represent just how many companies are developing new ideas to progress our society and the world, especially during a slow economy,” said Paul Silverglate, vice chair, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. 

Since it was founded in 2016, Upside has partnered with over 100,000 grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, and convenience stores nationwide, giving 30 million consumers access to its offers via its app and partner apps. Looking ahead, Kinnier has articulated broader ambitions in a recent vision statement, encompassing product experiences, categories, partnerships, and more.

Upside was ranked #3 by Deloitte among the fastest-growing companies in Washington, DC, where its headquarters are located. The company also has offices in Austin, Chicago, and New York City. Upside is currently hiring for positions based in our offices, remotely, or a combination of both. To learn more about job opportunities at Upside, visit our career page.
