Not too long ago, Intelius got the award for Best New Company from the Academy Awards of the business world — the American Business Awards. The year was 2006, and by the end of it, Intellius had showed considerable revenues.

Surely the company has outgrown that label. Intelius is no longer new, but rather a very much established brand with an impressive track in revenues.

While it has nothing on InfoSpace’s profits (businessman Naveen Jain built the two companies), Intelius has more than made up for its privately held status. Intelius is presently among the fastest-growing privately held firms not only in the Puget Sound area where it is based, but also for the rest of North America.

At #127 on the Deloitte & Touche technology Fast 500 for North America, Intellius is among the continent’s fastest-growing technological firms. In its native Washington, Intellius easily ranked #8 out of 50 technological firms that Deloitte & Touche has found to be fastest-growing.

Inc. Magazine, the arbiter of private firms in the US, has included the company in its lauded lists since 2007. In fact in 2008, the magazine put it in its list of the top 1000 of the 5000 fastest-growing US-based private companies.

Lawfully, Intelius sells other people’s background information, including their criminal records, properties, addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers. Through more than 250 million public records, the company can check the names of any American against its database of real estate deeds, marriage records, divorce records, death records, lawsuit filings, professional licenses, etc.

Founder Naveen Jain stepped up as a finalist of the Ernst & Young Award for Entrepreneur of 2006 due to this firm. Much prior to Intellius, he held an executive position at Microsoft.
