GoTu, a technology-driven workforce solution serving the dental industry, today announced it ranked No. 31 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, now in its 30th year. Making its first list appearance, GoTu grew 6282% from 2020 to 2023.
This award comes on the heels of the company’s recent acknowledgement ranking 42nd on the 2024 Inc. 5000 annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Founded in 2019 by tech visionaries Ed Thomas and Cary Gahm, GoTu has evolved from a modest team of two to a thriving workforce of more than 150. Its user-friendly platform connects over 25,000 dental offices with over 45,000 verified dental professionals and has filled more than 125,000 shifts across more than 30 states.
“We are honored to be named to the 2024 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list,” said Cary Gahm co-founder and co-CEO of GoTu. ““This recognition directly reflects our unyielding commitment to changing the way the world works. Our impressive growth rate is not just a metric; it is an affirmation of our team’s relentless drive for innovation, the trust we have earned from our customers, and the industry’s growing recognition of our offering.”
GoTu is revolutionizing the dental industry by connecting dental offices to qualified professionals faster than any other service, guaranteeing both parties enjoy a smooth experience. The dental talent marketplace is a game changer for the profession, replacing the temp agencies of the past by directly connecting understaffed offices with qualified dental hygienists and assistants.
“For 30 years we’ve been celebrating companies that are actively driving innovation. The software industry continues to be a beacon of growth, and the fintech industry made a strong showing on this year’s list, surpassing life sciences for the first time,” said Steve Fineberg, vice chair, U.S. technology sector leader, Deloitte. “Significantly, we also saw a breakthrough in performance of private companies, with the highest number of private companies named to the list in our program’s history. This year’s winners have shown they have the vision and expertise to continue to perform at a high level, and that deserves to be celebrated.”
