I’m thrilled to share that VAST has been honored among the Forbes list of America’s Best Startup Employers 2024. Most notably, VAST ranked No. 7 out of the 500 companies on the list, and No. 1 of 71 tech companies.

This is VAST’s second consecutive placement on this prestigious award, which is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. 

It is no surprise to me to see VAST represented so well on this list. Since I joined the company last summer, I’ve been amazed by the potential of the company, the power of our platform, and most importantly, the caliber of the people who work here. 

Building a high-growth company and market-leading platform for AI and deep learning infrastructure is not possible without great people. Just last week we gathered as a team for our annual Sales Kickoff and the energy, passion, and excitement I felt was a powerful reminder that we have cultivated a culture representative of what we’re building together. 

The America’s Best Startup Employers 2024 ranking examines best-performing startups as employers through defined KPIs to guide potential candidates in finding innovative and stable startups to work for. Companies considered in the evaluation must be headquartered in the U.S., founded between the years 2014 and 2021, employ at least 50 employees, and exhibit a startup structure. 

I’m thrilled to be part of this team that’s solving the complex AI and data challenges that enterprises face now and into the future. We’re just getting started!
