This work chronicles the rise of 525 of America's most dynamic growth firms, with in-depth profiles of 125 of the companies. All of the companies featured are US companies that are public or expected to go public within a short time after the publication of this book. The majority of the companies covered have sales between $10 million and $1 billion with a growth rate of at least 100 per cent a year for the past three years. Some exceptions were made to this rule to allow the publisher to include some exciting young companies that don't strictly fit the criteria. Discover how companies such as Broadcom have raced past their competitors to become leaders in their fields; learn about young companies, such as NextCard, that are poised for explosive growth; and read the stories behind IPOs such as RedHat and Vignette. The book includes lists of fast-growing companies from Business Week, Forbes, FORTUNE and other publications, and is indexed by headquarters location and industry, and by the people, companies and brand names mentioned in the profiles.
