CRITICALSTART earned the 80th spot on the list with a compound annual growth rate of 35.755%. The continuous growth has made it a leader in MDR solutions for companies in every industry and vertical. Texas A&M University alum and CRITICALSTART founder and CEO Rob Davis, has led the company since its inception, bringing his cybersecurity expertise to an increasingly competitive industry.
