Q3 2007 High Growth Companies Announced by the Private Company Index
Chicago, IL – October 31, 2007 – The 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 53% in Q3 2007, include a spectrum of firms ranging from a Texas ticket broker with national acclaim to a West Coast fashion label specializing in organic materials and other green practices. It is the first appearance on the PCI “Top Five” slate for all of these companies; though with recognized growth reaching 83% among this group, the distinction appears to be only a stepping-off point for future success.

That should be a point of pride for them. In fact, the whole PCI portfolio is strong and could be lauded. During this past quarter the Index reached, and maintains, and all-time high mark -- reflecting incredible growth.”
