New York —  November 17, 2021 — eSSENTIAL Accessibility (eA), the leading digital Accessibility-as-a-Service platform, today announced its inclusion in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America. eA has seen revenue growth of more than 420% in the past three years and recently announced a $55 million Series B funding round led by KKR.

“Our accelerated growth reinforces the fact that there is a clear and urgent need for online equality, and we’re committed to meeting that need universally,” said Mark Steele, co-founder and CEO at eSSENTIAL Accessibility. 

Approximately 61 million adults in the United States live with some form of disability, which may impact their ability to interact with online content. eSSENTIAL Accessibility plays a crucial role in promoting inclusive digital experiences by helping organizations improve and monitor the accessibility of their websites, apps and other digital products. It also helps clients meet global legal and regulatory requirements surrounding digital accessibility, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

“This recognition from Deloitte is a testament to our team’s passion, resolve and steadfast commitment to our mission, and the hard work of our customers as they go above and beyond to create inclusive digital experiences,” Steele said.

Steele attributes the company’s sustained success to an increasing reliance on digital tools to work, shop and play, particularly in the past 18 months. Deloitte’s report highlights the importance of innovating to match this trend.  

“The pandemic has underscored the urgent need for tech solutions in a variety of areas across health care, fintech, energy tech, entertainment, to name a few, so reliance on innovators like the winners of the Technology Fast 500 is more important than ever,” said Christie Simons, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications within Deloitte’s audit & assurance practice. “These companies are not only at the cutting edge, transforming the way we do business, but most importantly, recognize the strategic importance of ongoing innovation, especially in the ever-changing world of technology.”
