San Francisco: RedAwning has announced it has been ranked ninth in the San Francisco Business Times’ list of 100 fastest-growing private companies in the Bay Area.
In doing so, RedAwning has cemented its reputation as the fastest growing travel startup on the list for the second consecutive year. This year, however, the company has moved up into the top ten, nine places up from last year’s position where it ranked in the top twenty at number 18.
Since last year, RedAwning has expanded its network to 140,000 properties in over 10,000 destinations to include boutique hotels and multi-units. As well as the recent acquisitions of Blizzard Internet Marketing and Leavetown, the company has agreed new multi-project partnerships with Google and Amazon and recently established an extensive storefront on eBay.
RedAwning CEO and founder, Tim Choate, said: “This has been an incredible year for RedAwning and we are thrilled to be on the list again and in the top ten this year. It’s amazing to look back on all we have accomplished these past two years, but of course, we also have to thank all our valued vacation property managers who have trusted our powerful marketing engine to grow their businesses.”
