TecnoSpeed is featured in the 2026 Financial Times ranking of the fastest-growing companies in the Americas. Learn more about this achievement!
In 2026, the year TecnoSpeed celebrates its 20th anniversary, we achieved a significant milestone: we were selected by the Financial Times as one of the 300 fastest-growing companies in the Americas. In a highly competitive environment dominated by companies from the United States and Canada, this recognition positions TecnoSpeed as a benchmark for sustainable growth in the technology market.
Only 30 Brazilian companies were selected, and TecnoSpeed ranks in the top 7 nationally.
But what exactly is this ranking? What does it measure? And what does this result mean for those working with TecnoSpeed? We explain everything here.
What is the Financial Times Americas Ranking?
The Financial Times is one of the most respected business and economic publications in the world. Every year, it publishes lists identifying the fastest-growing private companies in various regions such as Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas.
The Financial Times Americas Ranking brings together organizations from Brazil, the US, Canada, Mexico, and other countries, evaluated based on two main criteria:
- Absolute revenue growth between 2021 and 2024;
- CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) for the same period;
- Financial transparency;
- Sustainability of growth.
It is a rigorous methodology that goes beyond isolated numbers. It considers consistency, sustainability, and real business expansion.
How does a company make it to the Financial Times Americas Ranking?
To be included in the Financial Times ranking, a company must demonstrate growth based on clearly defined criteria and undergo a strict evaluation conducted by the Financial Times in partnership with Statista, one of the world’s largest data and statistics companies.
The official requirements for the 2026 edition are:
- Headquartered in one of the 20 eligible countries in the Americas;
- Revenue of at least US$ 100,000 in 2021;
- Revenue of at least US$ 1.5 million in 2024;
- Independent company (not a subsidiary or branch of a larger group);
- Primarily organic growth between 2021 and 2024.
TecnoSpeed met all these criteria with ease. The company grew from US$ 4.3 million in revenue in 2021 to US$ 8.3 million in 2024. An absolute growth of 93.5%, with a CAGR of 24.6%. Numbers that speak for themselves.
TecnoSpeed in Financial Times 2026
2026 is a year of double celebration for TecnoSpeed: we are marking 20 years of history and receiving one of the most significant recognitions in our journey.
The Financial Times selected TecnoSpeed among the 300 fastest-growing companies in the Americas, with a growth of 27%. In the Brazilian segment, the result is even more significant:
- Only 30 Brazilian companies made it to this edition;
- TecnoSpeed is among the top 7 in the country;
- Of the 30 Brazilian companies, only 5 are from the technology sector, and TecnoSpeed is one of them.
“Being in the top 7 nationally, among giants from various sectors, proves that Brazilian technology competes on equal footing on the continent. Furthermore, these numbers reflect the solidity of our strategic decisions and the capability of our team to execute consistently. Each product launched, every partnership formed, and every client served with excellence contributed to this result.” — Jonathan Santos, CEO of TecnoSpeed.

What drove TecnoSpeed’s growth?
Three strategic areas supported this growth over the last few years:
- Strategic acquisitions
The acquisition of Decision IT is a clear example of how TecnoSpeed expanded its delivery capabilities. This move directly strengthened our fiscal solutions portfolio, a market that continues to grow with tax modernization in Brazil. It also further solidified our position in the fiscal and tax landscape. - Portfolio expansion
TecnoSpeed evolved beyond traditional fiscal solutions. Today, the portfolio includes fintech, digital signatures, digital certificates, and marketplace integrations. All areas of high demand in the B2B technology market, allowing our clients to enhance the value delivered in ERP systems and create new revenue streams. - Focus on the future of Brazil’s tax system
Brazil is undergoing an intense process of tax digitization. TecnoSpeed has strategically positioned itself to be a leading player in this movement.
“Sustainable growth in the technology sector relies on the ability to anticipate regulatory changes and turn that into product.” — Daniele Zangeroli, Tax Specialist at TecnoSpeed.
Today, our solutions are already prepared for IBS and CBS; split payment; assisted apuração; and integration between fiscal and financial systems.
Why is it more challenging for a Brazilian company to enter the Financial Times Ranking?
The ranking is dominated by US and Canadian companies, meaning economies with larger markets, access to abundant capital, and technology ecosystems that have been established for decades.
For a Brazilian company to compete in this environment is challenging for several reasons:
- Currency and tax volatility in Brazil;
- Limited historical access to venture capital;
- Regulatory complexity in the Brazilian fiscal and financial markets;
- The need to grow sustainably without burning cash.
For TecnoSpeed, achieving 93.5% growth in this context is not just a number; it’s proof that the business model works, even in adverse scenarios.
Follow TecnoSpeed’s next steps
Being included in the Financial Times 2026 ranking validates our business model, our team, and our strategy. But this is just another step.
TecnoSpeed continues to move forward, expanding solutions, forming partnerships, and building the next chapter of its story.
