We\u2019re proud to share that StrideUp has been ranked 50th among Sifted\u2019s 250 fastest-growing startups in Europe, and the only Islamic Finance company in the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

StrideUp joins Sifted\u2019s list of Europe\u2019s fastest-growing startups<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sifted, Europe\u2019s leading voice on venture and innovation, recently released its Sifted 250, a ranking that highlights the continent\u2019s fastest-growing startups based on verified revenue performance over the past three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the companies featured on this year\u2019s list represent the driving force of Europe\u2019s startup economy, generating billions in combined revenue and employing tens of thousands of people across multiple sectors. Each organisation was evaluated using a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of revenue across a three-year period, providing an objective measure of sustained growth rather than short-term spikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be considered, startups had to meet strict eligibility standards: they must be headquartered in Europe, founded in or after 2010, remain privately held and independent, and derive most of their income from their own technology or intellectual property. Businesses were also required to have three consecutive years of revenue data exceeding set thresholds and to provide verified financial documentation to ensure transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge shoutout to everyone who\u2019s been part of our journey so far, this is just the beginning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
