Validators Named FD Gazelle for the Fourth Time

Validators has once again been named an FD Gazelle. *Het Financieele Dagblad* ranks us among the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands in the West region. This is the fourth time we have received this award.

What is an FD Gazelle?

This year marks the 23rd time the FD has presented the FD Gazelles awards. The awards recognize the fastest-growing companies in financial terms. For the 2026 edition, 2022 serves as the base year. The fastest-growing companies in each region are also announced, with gold, silver, and bronze awards in three revenue categories.

Growth Through Confidence in Decision-Making

"Growth doesn't come from following, but from leading the way," says Martin Leeflang, founder and CEO of Validators: "Innovation is in Validators' DNA. We love to experiment—in recent years, we've been using AI as the driving force behind a new approach to research and work. Our clients notice this: they make faster and more confident decisions about their marketing. This FD Gazelle award shows that this approach is working."

Award Ceremony

The FD Gazelles 2026 awards will be presented on Thursday, November 19, at TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht.
