Matador AI earned the 238th spot on Deloitte’s 2025 Technology Fast 500 ranking. The company posted 339 per cent revenue growth between 2021 and 2024, marking its first appearance on the list.
The Fast 500 program highlights rapid-growth firms across technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech and energy tech. To qualify, companies must own proprietary technology, meet revenue thresholds and demonstrate significant year-over-year gains.
“Dealerships are shifting from viewing AI as an experiment to relying on it as core infrastructure,” said Nick Cossette, co-founder and CEO, in a statement.
Matador AI’s inclusion reflects rising adoption of its conversational AI platform, which is designed specifically for dealers. The system automates sales and service communication across phone, web, text, social media and email, and integrates with dealership tools to book and confirm appointments, manage follow-ups and respond to routine customer inquiries.
Matador AI said momentum continues to build as stores look for deeper automation and more consistent engagement across sales and service. Future development includes broader coverage across customer touchpoints, expanded OEM and group partnerships, and new AI agents with improved analytics and workflow capability.
“What we are seeing across dealerships is that AI delivers real impact when it’s implemented through partnership,” said Joshua Bagley, head of after-sales, in a statement.
Dealership reliance on automation is growing as staffing remains tight and customer expectations rise. The tools that manage routine communication may be seen as a way to help stabilize workflow and capture missed revenue opportunities.
