DiscoverOrg, the leading provider of lead generation and marketing systems for technology companies, with three-year growth of 1516% percent ranked No. 207 on the overall list, No. 14 within business services and products and No. 2 in the Portland Metro Area.

Other prominent brands among this year’s fastest growing companies include Spirit Airlines, television maker Vizio, Honest Tea, Dunkin Donuts and Metrokane, makers of the Rabbit corkscrew.

“The growth is exciting, but it’s really a testament to our employees and our product.  Our customers renew our service over 90% of the time and we’re focused on providing a product that makes sales and marketing teams be more efficient, more productive and sell more,” said Henry Schuck the company’s Senior Vice President of Sales.

The 2011 Inc. 500, unveiled in the September issue of Inc.

The companies on this year’s list employ more than 46,000 people and generated over 35,000 jobs in the past three years.

“This is just the beginning for DiscoverOrg. We look forward to continuing our growth by expanding our market share and also expanding into new markets and making our service accessible from multiple platforms. We look forward to being a fixture on the INC 500 list,” added Schuck.
