Boston, MA (April 16, 2020) — The Boston Business Journal has named COTA, Inc., a healthcare technology company that uses real-world data (RWD) to bring clarity to cancer care, to its exclusive 2020 Fast 50 list, which represents the 50 fastest-growing private companies in Massachusetts.

The Fast 50 companies are selected and ranked based on a formula that counts revenue growth from 2016 to 2019.

“After recently relocating our headquarters to Boston, it’s an honor to be included on the Fast 50 list. We’re proud to be driving growth in this region alongside the other companies featured and in close proximity to some of the most prestigious hospitals and life science innovators in the world,” said Mike Doyle, president and CEO of COTA. “Receiving this recognition from the BBJ highlights the work and progress our entire team is making through the application of real-world data to change how we treat and care for cancer patients.”

The numbers were crunched and analyzed by the Business Journal’s research department and by the media company’s Fast 50 partner, Withum.

“At a time when positive business news is hard to come by, the privately held companies included among this year’s Fast 50 have something to celebrate indeed,” Carolyn M. Jones, market president and publisher of the Boston Business Journal, said. “The COVID-19 crisis has changed the way we work and live; and like many others, we have reimagined our event and content to ensure the health and safety of all. Our celebration, originally scheduled to be held on May 20, is now expected to be held in November.”

A Fast 50 special publication is scheduled to run in the May 22 weekly edition of the Business Journal. A second publication, complete with rankings by revenue, will be published in conjunction with the Fast 50 event at the Aloft Hotel Seaport in South Boston, where we will announce the actual rankings.

Companies on the Fast 50 must have their headquarters in Massachusetts and must have reported revenue of at least $500,000 in 2016 and $1 million in 2019 were considered.
