Sunrise Technologies has earned a place among North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad region’s most dynamic, fastest-growing private companies. The Triad Business Journal’s Fast 50 Awards celebrate businesses that show consistent growth, leadership, and innovation—qualities that have defined Sunrise since our founding.
To be eligible for this recognition, a company must have its U.S. headquarters in the Triad region, be privately held and for-profit, and have been in business for at least three full fiscal years.
This recognition is more than a number. It’s a reflection of our people, our customers, and the enduring impact of the solutions we deliver.
Sunrise Technologies has appeared on the Fast 50 list for 18 consecutive years—a rare achievement that speaks to the strength and stability of our business, even through changing economic climates and industry shifts.
From the first year we made the list to our most recent award, we’ve remained focused on delivering results, building trusted relationships, and continuously evolving our offerings with Microsoft.
“Fast 50 is a recognition of long-term performance, not just a moment of success. It’s about consistent execution, keeping our customers at the center, and being a company people want to work with—and for.”
— John Pence, Founder & Chairman, Sunrise Technologies
Our continued growth in the past year reflected not just business momentum—but a deep commitment to innovation, customer success, and investing in the future.
These milestones represent more than product launches or headcount—they reflect our drive to stay ahead of what’s next and deliver meaningful value to our clients.
We’re proud to celebrate these milestones—not just for the accolades themselves, but for the stories they represent. From early-stage momentum to large-scale global partnerships, our growth is powered by strategic vision, innovation, and a deep alignment with Microsoft technologies.
This award isn’t just about revenue growth. It’s about delivering meaningful transformation for the brands we serve, building a world-class team, and staying committed to long-term excellence.
