Philadelphia, PA, Aug. 23, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. magazine today ranked Leadnomics No. 48 on its 30th Annual Inc. 500, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy--America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Zipcar, Clif Bar, Vizio, Oracle, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500.
The 2011 Inc. 500, unveiled in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 23 to November 15 and on Inc.com), is a group of companies that are smaller but much faster-growing than last year’s crop. Aggregate revenue is $10.5 billion, with a median three-year growth of 1,275 percent. The companies on this year's list employ more than 46,000 people and generated over 35,000 jobs in the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 500, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found on Inc.com/500.
Founded in 2007, Leadnomics generates highly targeted leads through a proprietary technology platform, which matches interested customers with financial service and insurance providers. Leadnomics perfected a calculated approach to every step of the lead generation process - acquiring traffic, capturing leads, analyzing and filtering leads for quality, and delivering leads to financial service and insurance providers in real-time.
"Based on our expertise in lead generation, we thought we had a unique approach to the business when we founded Leadnomics," said Stephen Gill, CEO and co-founder. "Now, only four short years later, Leadnomics is 48th on the INC. 500 list, and our growth will definitely continue."
Leadnomics had 9 full-time employees in 2010 and has grown to 18 employees this year. The company continues to see incredible growth and is expanding their online marketing and engineering teams.
In addition, this week at the Leadscon East lead generation conference in New York, Leadnomics will be unveiling two new products and services:
Auto Insurance Lead Generation - Leadnomics has refined their proprietary process for capturing and delivering auto insurance leads and will be rolling out exclusive offers to their partners over the next few months.
Leadnomics Partner Network - Leadnomics is offering LeadsCon attendees the ability to pre-register for their new affiliate network. Leadscon attendees will have first look at the offers Leadnomics is rolling out via this exclusive new network.
Methodology
The 2011 Inc. 500 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2007 to 2010. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2007. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent--not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies--as of December 31, 2010. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2007 is $100,000; the minimum for 2010 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue.
