Naveen Jain, chief executive officer of Intelius, Inc, has acquired millions in revenues since the company’s inception in January of 2003. This helped the company prove its reputation as a highly reliable and profitable information commerce firm.
The company’s exceptional performance gained recognition from several organizations like Deloitte & Touche, which ranked Intelius as 127th among North America’s fastest growing companies catering to the fields of telecommunications, technology, life sciences, and media. Inc Magazine, on the other hand, named Intelius as one of the United States’ fastest growing private companies while Washington CEO Magazine hailed Intelius as one of Washington’s best companies.
Generally, Intellius’ services deal with extracting information about individuals using public sources.

Some of the company’s other popular products are the date checks, reverse phone lookups, and the award winning identity theft tracker/protector, IDWatch.
Like the company and its cofounder, Intelius’ products and services are well recognized and highly acclaimed. Aside from receiving the prestigious Best New Company award in 2006, Intellius also received a Stevie Award nomination for 2007’s Most Innovative Company. The company also won the Washington Software Alliance Industry Achievement Award for Consumer Product of the Year.
Last year, 2008, the company’s reverse cell phone directory received recognition when it was honored as a nominee for Best New Product/Service. This highly innovative product features a caller ID exclusively for customers’ cellular phones.
