Delivery Agent Named Rising Star In Deloittee’s Technology 50 Program For Silicon Valley
SAN FRANCISCO – October 31, 2007 – Delivery Agent, Inc. has been named a Rising Star in Deloitte & Touche USA LLP’s Technology Fast 50 program for Silicon Valley. The Rising Star award is a special designation for fast-growth companies that have been in business a minimum of three years, but less than five and is part of the Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50 program, which ranks the 50 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies headquartered in Silicon Valley. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over three years (2004–2006). This year’s Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50 program is co-presented by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP and Silicon Valley Bank, Cooley Godward Kronish LLP, Korn/Ferry International, and Woodruff-Sawyer & Co.
Delivery Agent, Inc., the leader in shopping-enabled programming, has redefined the concept of entertainment and lifestyle content monetization for clients such as ABC, NBC Universal, MTV Networks, Twentieth Century Fox, E! Entertainment Television, CBS Paramount, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, and The Weinstein Company, as well as several other industry leaders. Through the development of more than 50 distinct, branded shopping sites for its respective partners, Delivery Agent has reinvented the way entertainment-related products are cataloged, merchandized, and sold while creating an entirely new, interactive way for consumers to shop online. Some of the company’s most recent endeavors include the launch of SeenON! (www.SeenON.com), the definitive digital catalog for products seen on television, films, music videos, and the red carpet.
“The Deloitte Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50 Rising Star companies have shown the strength, vision and tenacity to succeed despite a very challenging technology environment,” said Mark Jensen, partner and national director, Venture Capital Services, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “We applaud the successes of Delivery Agent and acknowledge its place as one of the few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past three years.”
“We are honored to be recognized by Deloitte for our continued performance and long-term vision,” said Mike Fitzsimmons, CEO of Delivery Agent. “Our early technology and infrastructure investments are proving to be a good fit with evolving new media business models. With our foundation in place, we are well-positioned to turn entertainment shopping into a mainstream form of commerce.”
To qualify for the Technology Fast 50 Rising Star program, companies must be incorporated a minimum of three years and have revenues in only three or four years, have operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2004 and $5,000,000 in 2006, be headquartered within the San Francisco Bay Area (subsidiaries or divisions are not eligible unless they have some public ownership and are separately traded), and own proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company’s operating revenues or devote a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies’ technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.
