CoreLogic will provide SavvyCard to subscribers of California Regional Multiple Listing Service (CRMLS), the nation’s largest MLS, a news release said.

SavvyCard makes it easy for real estate agents to share their contact information and real estate listings online through the major social media networks and other digital channels.

KnowBe4 ranked No. 34 on the list, with 3,726 percent revenue growth from 2014 to 2017.

“Our revenue growth has been up for 22 consecutive quarters, and we attribute that success to our best-in-class new-school security awareness training and simulated phishing platform along with the increasing realization that people are the weakest link in organizational security,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of KnowBe4.

ReliaQuest was No. 214 on the list, with 451 percent revenue growth in that same period.

Brian Murphy, CEO of ReliaQuest, credited a strong culture and hardworking employees for the company’s triple-digit growth.

The fastest growing company on the list is SwanLeap, a Madison, Wisc.-based software firm, which grew revenue 77,260 percent in three years.
