from Deloitte in 2007, Intelius was also recognized this year with
awards from Inc. magazine and the Puget Sound Business
Journal.
"We are very proud
of our accomplishments in an increasingly competitive industry and
credit much of our success to executing an aggressive growth plan,
developing key partnerships with major brands, as well as expanding
our suite of useful and comprehensive personal safety and
information services," said Naveen Jain, CEO of Intelius. "This
accolade is another demonstration of Intelius' dedication to
providing our customers with superior service and products that
help them make knowledgeable decisions."

offers a selection of innovative personal protection and
information services like extensive consumer and enterprise
background checks, identity theft watch programs and in- depth
people searches.
"Deloitte's
Technology Fast 500 Rising Stars honors young companies that have
gained early traction in today's highly competitive technology
marketplace based on percentage of revenue growth," said Phil
Asmundson, Vice Chairman, U.S. Technology, Media and
Telecommunications, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP. "We applaud
Intelius for being one of only 20 companies to achieve the Rising
Star ranking in 2007."
