The recognition covered young entrepreneurs, executives and professionals in British Columbia. Marquez attributed Buyatab's development to its technology and relationships with merchants. His comments described the company's strategy, rather than demonstrating a specific commercial result caused by the award. Buyatab supplied online gift card infrastructure for medium-sized and large merchants. Its service supported purchases through a merchant's website and delivery by email or text message, with mobile-wallet compatibility described in the announcement. The company reported clients in the United States, Canada and Europe across sectors including retail, restaurants and hospitality. The award notice focused on Marquez's recognition and the business he led; it did not announce a new product or integration. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Buyatab Founder & CEO Matias Marquez Recognized as a Top Forty Under 40 by Business in Vancouver](https://web.buyatab.com/our-news/buyatab-founder-ceo-matias-marquez-recognized-as-a-top-forty-under-40-by-business-in-vancouver/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — web.buyatab.com ## In this article ### Companies * [Buyatab](https://giftcard.news/company/buyatab/) ### People * [Matias Marquez](https://giftcard.news/person/matias-marquez/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fbuyatab-founder-and-ceo-matias-marquez-recognized-as-a-top-forty-under-4-5a1b5527992b%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Buyatab%20CEO%20Matias%20Marquez%20named%20to%20Vancouver's%20Forty%20Under%2040%20in%202018 "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fbuyatab-founder-and-ceo-matias-marquez-recognized-as-a-top-forty-under-4-5a1b5527992b%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Buyatab%20CEO%20Matias%20Marquez%20named%20to%20Vancouver's%20Forty%20Under%2040%20in%202018%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fbuyatab-founder-and-ceo-matias-marquez-recognized-as-a-top-forty-under-4-5a1b5527992b%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Oliver Reed](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/oliver-reed-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Oliver Reed](https://giftcard.news/author/oliver-reed/) Journalist — Industry Deals & Research Oliver Reed covers industry acquisitions, investment and market research for Gift Card News.
