The electricity in the exciting city of San Francisco goes up a few notches higher as Lead411 rolls out the list of the Hottest Companies in San Francisco.
This particular list is composed of the most innovative technology companies in the city, a result of the industrious daily scouring of more than 600 press releases, new office openings, business articles, and company launches by the Lead411 team. Out of the 3112 that were originally part of the list, it was condensed to the top 70.
In order to qualify as one of the Hottest Companies in San Francisco, the privately-held organization must be part of the Software, Wireless, Internet, Hardware, or Media industries. It must also be within the area of San Francisco, and should have marked either 100% increase in revenues or gained over $5M in funding in the past 2 years.
CrowdFlower, Martini Media, GigaOM, and BrightTALK all made it to the list. Want to know what other companies made it to the list of Hottest Companies in San Francisco? You can view the list here.
