History

The company was founded in 2007 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada by CEO Arnold Leung.[4][5][6] During its first year in business Appnovation Technologies helped the current Tatango launch the older version of the mobile texting platform called NetworkText.[7] By 2009, the company had grown to become the 15th biggest web development company in Vancouver.[8]

In 2010 Appnovation was ranked #16 in PROFIT's Profit Hot 50 List[9] and Leung was named to Business in Vancouver's Top Forty Under 40 list. In 2011 Leung was also named BDC's Young Entrepreneur of the Year for British Columbia[10] and Appnovation was a finalist in the Small Business BC "Successful You Awards" in the Best Company category.

In 2011 the company's revenue had tripled from the previous year, at $4.2 million.[11] In 2014, the company opened an office in Montreal, Quebec and a sales and development centre in Saint John, New Brunswick.[12] In the same year, the company was included in the Deloitte Fast 50 of fastest-growing Canadian technology companies.[13][14]

The company now also has U.S. offices in Atlanta, Boston, New York City and San Francisco, European offices in Cardiff and London, and an office in Hong Kong.[15]

In 2016, the company was again included in the Deloitte "Fast 50" and Fast 500, with 449% growth between 2012 and 2015.[16]

Awards and recognition

In 2013 Appnovation won a Blue Drop Award for the best Marketplace/eCommerce Website,[17] an Acquia "Partner Site of the Year" award for the mobile category,[18] and the Alfresco "Partner Solution of the Year" for osCaddie.
