Anteo Group Recognized as one of the Fastest-Growing New Companies in the U.S.

ATLANTA - Anteo Group, a technology staffing and consulting company, announces the inclusion in Entrepreneur Magazine and PricewaterhouseCoopers 11th Annual Hot 100 List of Americaís Fastest-Growing New Businesses for the second year in a row.



Anteo Group opened its doors in the summer of 2002 with only three employees in Atlanta and has since grown to 65 employees worldwide and $10 million in sales with offices in Atlanta, Dallas, London and Los Angeles. Anteo Group made its first appearance on the Hot 100 List of Americaís Fastest-Growing New Businesses in 2004. From 2004 to 2005, Anteo Group jumped from 95 to 39.

We are more than thrilled to not only be included in the Hot 100, but also to have moved to #39, said Anteo Group Co-Founder and President Dion DeLoof. We believe our growth reaffirms our hands-on approach of developing meaningful relationships with our contract consultants, which enables us to provide our clients with the best software consultants possible. As always, we have our clients and consultants to thank for our success!

Each Hot 100 company was founded no earlier than 2000, had annual sales that exceeded $1 million in 2004, and has a founder with a controlling interest in the business who is actively involved in daily operations. Entrepreneur reports that the hottest industry this year is technology, with 20 of the 100 companies listed falling into this category. This yearís Hot 100 companies report $1.5 billion in total sales, a substantial increase from the $795.3 million reported by the companies in 2004. This yearís Hot 100 companies also raised over 10 times as much startup capital as last yearís group, an increase from $62.1 million to $631.1 million.

Our #1 secret to success is hiring the right people, said Anteo Group Co-Founder and Director of Sales James Yeagle. Since we are in the people business, it is imperative that we hire the right type of person who can handle our internal culture as well as our clientís culture.
