Attributes growth to strong industry demand for curated AI data and expansion into data-as-a-service — developing frontier AI datasets for leading AI labs and application-layer companies.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., November 19, 2025 — Snorkel AI, the AI data research lab, today announced it ranked 487 on 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, now in its 31st year.
Alex Ratner, co-founder and CEO of Snorkel AI, credits the company’s growth to its focus on research-led innovation and measurable enterprise outcomes. He said: “We’ve always believed that AI progress starts with better data, not just bigger models. Snorkel’s roots in academic research shape how we build and apply our platform to deliver the datasets, benchmarks, and evaluation methods that make AI perform in the real world. This recognition from Deloitte reflects how deeply that research-led, data-centric philosophy resonates across the AI ecosystem.”
“This year’s rankings highlight both enduring leadership and breakthrough momentum,” said Wolfe Tone, US Deloitte Private & Emerging Client Portfolio leader and partner, Deloitte Tax LLP. “More than half of the winners are prior honorees, yet the majority of the top ten are first-time entrants — demonstrating the staying power of established leaders alongside the accelerating growth of new innovators across key sectors. As in previous years, private companies continue to dominate, underscoring the agility that private enterprises bring to competitive markets, enabling the exceptional triple and quadruple digit growth reflected in these rankings.”
