SEATTLE, April 3, 2025 ~ Deako, the leading innovator in modular smart lighting solutions, is celebrating a major milestone as it marks its 10th anniversary as a company. This achievement not only signifies a decade of success for Deako, but also highlights the significant impact the company has had on the smart home industry.
Founded by CEO Derek Richardson, Deako began with a simple conversation between Richardson and his neighbor. Since then, the company has experienced tremendous growth and recognition. It has been named on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies and Richardson was recently named to Entrepreneur's "Entrepreneur of 2024" list. Additionally, Deako has achieved a remarkable 155% revenue compounded annual growth rate over the past four years.
One of Deako's key accomplishments is its impressive portfolio of 15 patents in the smart lighting industry, including one for AI-Powered Home Automation. The company has also expanded its builder network to include more than 40 partners such as D.R. Horton, Meritage Homes, Toll Brothers, Maronda Homes, and Stone Martin.
