This year, along with other household names including Cazoo, what3words, Tessian, and Wolf & Badger, the agency has been selected to join Tech Nation’s Future Fifty programme.
The growth programme aims to empower and connect some of the most successful tech companies in the UK, helping them to grow stronger and faster through peer-to-peer learning and in-depth masterclasses, with previous members including Monzo, Bulb, Deliveroo and Zoopla.
Strike’s selection comes off the back of an £11 million funding round and a huge jump in market share in the North of England, where its sell-for-free-model continues to grow and thrive.
Sam Mitchell, CEO of Strike, said: “We’ve always had a powerful, disruptive ambition and viewed ourselves as a tech company first — and our inclusion in Tech Nation’s Future Fifty programme is recognition of that.
“We’re excited to follow in the footsteps of so many other innovative and groundbreaking companies who have changed the way we think and live. Just like them, we’ve never been afraid to disrupt the industry we’re in and we believe it is one that is long over-due some changes.”
Gerard Grech, CEO of Tech Nation, said: “The companies selected to join this year’s Future Fifty programme are a shining example of the UK’s entrepreneurship, innovation and resilience.
“Based across the UK, nurturing the growth of these scaling late-stage tech companies is critical to future-proofing the UK’s economy.”
