PacketVideo Named one of the Fastest-Growing Technology Companies in San Diego
Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Recognizes PacketVideo in Top Ten
PacketVideo, the leading innovator of embedded multimedia software, was recognized as one of the top ten fastest-growing technology companies in San Diego, Calif. by Deloitte & Touche LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services firms. Late last week, Deloitte announced its annual Technology Fast 50, which identifies the 50 fastest-growing technology companies within San Diego County based on five-year revenue growth. PacketVideo was recognized as the seventh fastest-growing company with 2,369 percent growth during the past five years.
"Deloitte's San Diego Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the strength, vision and temerity to succeed in today's very competitive technology environment," said Helen Adams, partner, Technology, Media & Telecommunications, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "We applaud the successes of PacketVideo and acknowledge their place as one of the very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years."
"We are pleased to be named alongside other technology innovators in the San Diego area, one of the technology hotbeds in the United States," said Jim Brailean, CEO of PacketVideo. "This recognition coincides with our seventh anniversary and the tremendous success we've had in launching exciting new mobile multimedia services. As a technology innovator, we are thriving and are stronger than ever."
To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2000 and $1,000,000 in 2004; must be public or private companies headquartered in North America; and be a "technology company," defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues, or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify.
Winners of the 15 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America's top 500 fastest growing technology companies.
