Three Bulgarian Tech Companies Among The 50 Fastest Growing in CEE
Three Bulgarian companies make Deloitte’s ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Central and Eastern Europe for 2020 – Coursedot, Storpool, and CloudCart, which grew by 1 336%, 541%, and 494% respectively. The standings are based on revenue growth over the past four years (from 2016 to 2019).
Another two trending startups from Bulgaria make Deloitte’s new Rising Stars ranking – EnduroSat (405% growth) and Notolytix (267%). This year, we are taking to new heights our commitment to recognising companies that are inspired by making an impact on the business, environment, society and diversity amongst employees. We are launching a new category in the Fast 50 Programme called ‘Impact Stars’, which expressly marks out those companies that have a clear ethical dimension at the heart of their business model,” says Jarek Skvrna, CEO at Deloitte Central Europe. According to Deloitte, the rising stars are not mature enough yet to meet the criteria for the main category but show great potential and their revenue should have exceeded €30k in each of the past three years.
One more interesting category in Deloitte’s rankings is that of Impact Stars, aimed at illustrating the spirit of innovation all across CEE – here next to EnduroSat and CloudCart, Bulgarian magic whiteboard paint startup Escreo also finds a place.

CloudCart’s main strategy to achieve this goal is to provide SMBs with all the necessary tools needed for running a successful online business and support them along their way – from first online sale to full eCommerce scale.
EnduroSat
EnduroSat is to launch the world’s first shared satellite service for observing the Earth, designed to enable unprecedented access to in-orbit operations. On every mission, the NanoSats (small satellites) involved will host multiple remote sensing payloads, such as cameras, sensors, communication and data systems, and remote sensing experiments. Commercial and research customers will be able to launch their Earth-observation payloads into space at the shortest-ever lead time of six months – a 10- fold reduction – and share the data they generate in a common cloud. This will enable costs to be reduced by 15 times, with practically no risk in space operations for the customer. The service also covers the entire satellite value chain, including payload integration, satellite assembly and launch, Ground Station, mission operations and
licensing. The company’s management is focused on popularising space tech for young people, through organised events, company programmes and visits to their R&D site. It is also hiring young people from universities, explicitly to give them the opportunity to become familiar with their technology, research and space missions.
