I tried to find how the ranking is calculated, tried signing up for the sources they used, which in turn led to email like below.

This is just PR-spam several levels deep.

Hi Paul, I'm CEO of the company which has created this list. As you might notice, it is voting for the most popular SaaS company among the Fastest Growing. How we found which companies are the Fastest Growing? First, we took a list of Nathan Latka, who hosts on the most popular SaaS podcast and has a huge database of SaaS companies with their metrics. Second, we took a list of the companies that have shown massive growth on Linkedin in 2018. And we also added the data provided by Similarweb. It sounds very simple, but it took more than a week of our team just to make this list of TOP50 companies the most accurate way. Now we welcome everybody to vote for the companies from this list. Hope that helps. Vlad
