Intelius Ranked Number Eight in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program for Washington State Celebrates 578 Percent Revenue Growth Over the Past Five Ye

Intelius - a leading information commerce company that empowers consumers and businesses with information to make intelligent decisions about personal safety and security - has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 program for Washington State, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies in the area.

Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2004-2008, by Deloitte, one of the nation's leading professional services organizations.

With an increase in revenues of 578 percent from 2004 to 2008, Intelius earned a number eight spot in the Technology's Fast 50 for Washington State.

"With its impressive five-year growth, Intelius has earned its position among the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America," said Larry Hile, Partner, Technology, Media and Telecommunications practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
