Steel River Group Ranked No. 1 Fastest-Growing Startup in Canada

In October 2020, Steel River Group was honoured to be ranked No. 1 on Canada’s Startup List, recognizing the company as the fastest-growing startup in Canada based on two-year revenue growth.

Produced by Canadian Business, one of Canada’s leading business media brands, the Startup List recognized emerging companies demonstrating exceptional growth, momentum, and market impact.

For Steel River Group, the ranking was a major national milestone and reflected the success of a business model built around collaboration between:

• Indigenous communities

• Industry partners

• Strategic alliance partners

• Shared-value economic opportunities

• People-first leadership and values

The recognition validated Steel River Group’s early vision, that there had never been a better time to reimagine how an Indigenous-owned private company could define, create, and capture value for communities, partners, and future generations.

Steel River Group’s rapid growth was driven by the commitment of its employees, the trust of its partners, and a clear focus on building practical opportunities that delivered real outcomes.

Being named Canada’s fastest-growing startup also signalled the increasing strength and relevance of Indigenous-led business models within the national economy.

As Steel River Group looked ahead to 2021, the company remained focused on expanding partnerships, creating new ventures, and continuing to build long-term prosperity across Canada.
