Maxwell Ranked 65th Fastest-Growing Company in North America on the 2021 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™
Attributes 2,513% revenue growth to launching successful tech-enabled solutions designed to help local mortgage lenders gain efficiency, scale, and flexibility through changing market conditions
Denver, CO, November 17, 2021—Maxwell today announced it ranked 65th 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 27th year. Maxwell grew its revenue by 2,513% during the evaluated period.
Founded in 2015, Maxwell aims to modernize the mortgage process by offering forward-looking technology that goes beyond loan applications and document management. Designed exclusively for local and regional lenders that serve America’s communities, Maxwell’s suite of solutions addresses the entire mortgage process, making it faster, cheaper, and more efficient for lenders and their borrowers. To date, Maxwell has facilitated over $150 billion in loan volume, helping the over 300 lenders on the platform close loans 13 days faster.
Maxwell’s Co-founder and CEO John Paasonen attributes the company’s rapid growth to impactful solutions the company has released over the past few years. “Our team has been incredibly focused launching and enhancing offerings that transform the mortgage origination process for our lenders. Today, the Maxwell Mortgage Optimization Platform empowers clients at each step of the mortgage process, from intake of application to the secondary market,” said John. “We could not have built the game-changing solutions we offer today without our dedicated team’s hard work and the invaluable input we’ve received from our customers and partners.”
Maxwell’s ranking on Deloitte’s list is especially meaningful in light of the unique challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the mortgage market shifted, Maxwell pivoted its strategy to meet the rapidly growing technology and loan fulfillment needs of small and midsize lenders across the country.
“The pandemic has underscored the urgent need for tech solutions in a variety of areas across health care, fintech, energy tech, entertainment, to name a few, so reliance on innovators like the winners of the Technology Fast 500 is more important than ever,” said Christie Simons, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications within Deloitte’s audit & assurance practice. “These companies are not only at the cutting edge, transforming the way we do business, but most importantly, recognize the strategic importance of ongoing innovation, especially in the ever-changing world of technology.”
Overall, 2021 Technology Fast 500™ companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 212% to 87,037% from 2017 to 2020, with median growth of 521%.
