SAN DIEGO, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Kintera, Inc., tops the list of the fastest-growing companies in San Diego, as recognized by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP at an award event held today at the San Diego Marriott Del Mar. The "San Diego Technology Fast 50," an annual award program, ranks technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies located in the San Diego area by revenue growth over five years.
"We are pleased to honor the successful, diverse group of companies represented on the San Diego Technology Fast 50 list," said Theresa Drew, managing partner of the San Diego office. "Once again, our regional Technology Fast 50 winners are a testament to the ongoing growth and health of the San Diego community. We congratulate each of these outstanding performers, as well as our Rising Star company in San Diego, which we hope to see on the Fast 50 list in the future."
Winners are selected based on percentage revenue growth over five years from 2001 to 2005. To be considered, Technology Fast 50 entrants must: have operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001 and at least $5,000,000 in 2005; be headquartered in San Diego; own proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of its operating revenues, or devote a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology.
