CHARLOTTE, N.C. - ncarol.com -- RealResponse is proud to announce that it has been named to Fast Company's prestigious list of the World's Most Innovative Companies of 2024. Led by Founder and CEO David Chadwick, RealResponse is one of just ten companies in the multibillion-dollar sports industry to make the list, including its client the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).

"This recognition by Fast Company reinforces that a secure, accessible, and trusted way to communicate within the sports community is critical for turning valuable feedback into timely action," Chadwick said. "Whether it's enabling safe and protected communication for athletes, coaches, and employees, or simply breaking down barriers to foster a better information exchange within sports and other industries, RealResponse will continue to innovate and elevate voices on and off the field of play. We want to thank all those who have joined us in ensuring everyone's voice is heard."
