Octane AI Selected by Fortune as One of 100 Best Small & Medium Workplaces™
Startup becomes one of the best companies to work for in the country with the latest award recognition by Fortune and Great Place to Work® in 2021
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Octane AI, the pioneer zero-party data marketing platform, today announced that Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work have honored the company as one of the 2021 Best Small & Medium Workplaces. This is Octane AI's first time being named to the highly competitive list, this year ranking in the top twenty-five.
The Best Small & Medium Workplaces award is based on analysis of confidential survey responses from more than 280,000 current employees of Great Place to Work-Certified companies. In that survey, 100% of Octane AI's employees said the Software as a Service (SaaS) company is a great place to work; 41% higher than the typical U.S.-based company which sees on average 59% of its employees satisfied in their workplace.
"We are thrilled to receive this recognition! As a fully remote startup since 2016, we have worked extra hard to build a company with strong values and a culture that empowers employees to meet their professional goals while having fun," said Matt Schlicht, Octane AI CEO and Co-Founder. "Over the past year our team has tripled its size, so it's incredibly encouraging to know that our newest team members are happy and the culture we have built is only getting stronger."
An all-remote company employing team members in over 14 countries, Octane AI has created a workplace deserving of merit based on five core values: empathy over ego, whole happy humans, empowered to experiment, dare to be different, and win together. The startup is hiring in various areas, particularly software engineering.

Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected the 2021 list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies were assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is. "These companies may be small in size, but their impact and commitment to improving employee experience stacks up against some of the world's largest corporations," says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. "Their ability to scale business while maintaining a high level of employee care is nothing short of amazing. A job well done to the Best Small & Medium Workplaces."
The new recognition as a Fortune Best Small & Medium Workplaces comes at the heels of a series of announcements from Octane AI, who has recently launched its new Conversational Pop-up product, was awarded by Shopify as the Best Storefront App and welcomed Shopify as a customer. In July, the company raised $5 million in a round led by Javelin Venture Partners to continue democratizing ecommerce software that empowers Shopify merchants to build deep relationships with customers through privacy-friendly data and personalization.
