Stuart Lunn – CEO of LendingCrowd
Deloitte is calling on Scotland’s most innovative and rapidly growing technology scale-ups to apply for the firm’s prestigious UK Technology Fast 50.
The annual ranking celebrates the fastest-growing tech companies across the UK, based on average revenue growth over a three-year period. Last year’s Technology Fast 50 winners had a collective average three-year growth rate of 1,905% and generated total revenues of £2.41 billion in 2024/25.
Edinburgh-based fintech LendingCrowd, a top ten finisher in last year’s Technology Fast 50, was also the highest-ranked Scottish tech company in the awards, with a three-year growth rate of 2,792%. The company facilitates business loans for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by matching them with investors seeking to earn returns on their capital.
Stuart Lunn, founder and CEO of LendingCrowd, said: “Being named as the fastest-growing technology company in Scotland reflects the investment we are making in our platform, processes and people as we strive to be the trusted source of SME finance.
“LendingCrowd has now ranked four times in Deloitte Technology Fast 50. This has helped reinforce our credibility with customers, partners and stakeholders while motivating the team as we continue to scale profitably and sustainably.
“For any technology business experiencing rapid growth, we would wholeheartedly recommend applying for the programme. This is a fantastic programme that shines a spotlight on innovation and growth while providing valuable recognition for the hard work happening behind the scenes.”
Kiren Asad, lead partner for the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 programme, said: “Securing a spot on the Fast 50 ranking offers a unique opportunity to create new opportunities for investment and partnerships; elevate your profile and credibility within the competitive tech landscape; and position your company as an employer of choice for top tech professionals.
“If your company is on a growth trajectory, pushing boundaries, and ready for that next big leap, then this is something you should be looking at – don’t miss the chance to showcase your achievements and elevate your brand on a national stage.”
