RALEIGH, NC—AUGUST 12, 2020—Pendo.io, which helps companies accelerate software product adoption among customers and internal employees, placed 26th on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America, moving up 47 spots from its 2019 ranking.

“I’m as optimistic as I’ve ever been for the future of Pendo,” said Pendo CEO and co-founder Todd Olson. “Pendo has experienced explosive growth over the last several years as businesses rush to improve their software products; the global pandemic has only accelerated the need for better digital experiences, especially in industries like education, banking, retail and healthcare. We’re seeing demand for our platform from some of the largest companies in the world, and I’m encouraged by the stories we’re hearing from customers using Pendo to drive digital transformation and growth at their companies.”

In addition to Inc. 5000 recognition, Pendo was recently included on Inc.’s “Best Workplaces of 2020” list, and Comparably’s “Best Company Leadership 2020” and “Best Company Professional Development 2020” lists, based on reviews by Pendo employees.
