NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Snap Interactive, Inc. ("SNAP" or the "Company") (OTCQB: STVI), a leading social dating developer and owner of AYI.com, today announced it ranked 194th on Deloitte's 2013 Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America. SNAP's revenue grew 539% from 2008 to 2012.
SNAP's chief executive officer, Clifford Lerner, credits the ability to identify unique opportunities and rapidly execute and iterate on its product vision in the fast moving social dating space as the catalyst for the Company's 539% revenue growth.
"We are honored to be recognized again by Deloitte, particularly in the New York Metro area which is rapidly improving its reputation as a home for technology innovators and entrepreneurs," said Lerner. "As the social dating industry has evolved, we have seen tremendous opportunities to use our platform to connect people in meaningful ways. Our growth can be attributed to the exciting opportunities for growth by building on top of Facebook's Developer Platform, as well as the breadth of engineering talent in New York City."
"The 2013 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 companies are exemplary cases of those spurring growth in a tough market through innovation," said Eric Openshaw, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader. "This year's list is a who's who of companies behind the most exciting and innovative products and services in the technology space. We congratulate the Fast 500 companies and look forward to what they do next."
"The fastest growing companies in the US are drivers of constant innovation and operate with the agility to stay ahead of a quickly evolving marketplace, and software, biotech/pharma and internet companies continue to be at the forefront," added James Atwell, national managing partner of the Emerging Growth Company practice, Deloitte Services LP. "The companies excelling in these sectors have a startup mentality that allows them to be nimble and adapt quickly, which is why they consistently lead the list of fast-growing companies each year."
