Health Union, which has ranked among Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™ for the third consecutive year, continues to experience exponential growth since the company started 10 years ago.

“Health Union’s mission is – and will always be – to help people live better with challenging health conditions,” said Health Union co-founder and CEO Olivier Chateau. “Over the past 10 years, we’ve stayed true to this mission and sustained an online health community model that puts people first and inspires a culture within our company that creates win-win partnerships to make a real difference for both the people in our communities and our healthcare clients.”

Overall, 2020 Technology Fast 500™ companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 175% to 106,508% from 2016 to 2019, with median growth of 450%.

“For more than 25 years, we’ve been honoring companies that define the cutting edge and this year’s Technology Fast 500 list is proof positive that technology — from software and digital media platforms, to biotech — truly does permeate so many facets of our lives,” said Paul Silverglate, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. “We congratulate this year’s winners, especially during a time when innovation is needed more than ever to address the monumental challenges posed by the pandemic.”
