In addition to ranking on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50, ReadyTalk ranked 102nd on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, which is a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology firms in the country based on revenue over five years.

Overall, companies that ranked on the 2007 Colorado Technology Fast 500 had growth rates ranging from 253 to 79,060 percent over five years, with an average growth rate of 1,823 percent.
