LOS ANGELES – In order to recognize the fastest growing technology companies in Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana, Lead411 is proud to announce the release of its “Hottest Companies in the Southeast” award. WorthPoint is included on that list.

Background

Each day, the Lead411 research team scours through 600-plus press releases and business articles including venture capital fundings, company launches, new office openings, customer press releases, etc. This information has given insight to which are the fastest growing companies in the U.S. Its “Hottest Companies” awards have been created to recognize these fast growing companies in different geographic regions. This particular list originally started with more than 2,400 companies and it has been narrowed down to the top 91.

“We have been tracking fast companies for our customers for the past 10 years,” said Tom Blue, CEO of Lead411, “and we felt it was important to recognize these growing brands publicly.”
