Q2 2007 High Growth Companies Announced by the Private Company Index

 

Chicago, IL – July 19, 2007The Private Company Index (PCI) announces its “Top Five Growth Company” slate for the most recent quarter.  These five honorees, which as a group experienced overall average revenue growth of 29% in Q2 2007, include a spectrum of companies ranging from a Denver-area supply chain solution provider to a bi-coastal firm that created a proprietary methodology to analyze capital market trading.  It is the first appearance on the PCI “Top Five” slate for four of these companies; though with recognized growth reaching 44% among this group this distinction appears to be only a stepping-off point for future success.
