TORONTO, Sept. 11, 2013 /CNW/ - PROFIT Magazine has ranked Buytopia.ca No. 3, Canada's leading daily deal site, on its 14th annual PROFIT HOT 50, the definitive ranking of Canada's Top New Growth Companies, with two-year revenue growth of 6,426%. In the previous 12 months Buytopia.ca has acquired 6 daily deal competitors, to lead the consolidation of the industry and provide excellent value to their consumers.
Adding to a busy summer, Buytopia.ca founders Ryan Marien, Michele Romanow & Anatoliy Melnichuk were also named finalists for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year honouring Canada's leading entrepreneurs. Award finalists are based on their vision, leadership, financial success and contributions to social responsibility.
"It's a thrill to be recognized by some of the most respected institutions in the country," says Marien.
