The Inc. 5000 for 2008 is out. While I don't put too much stock in these lists because short-term revenue growth can be influenced by a lot of things (such as one contract) that are not necessarily indicative of longer-term success, they are nonetheless useful for benchmarking the progress of known companies and identifying others that may not have previously been on the radar.
The Philly Metro Top 100 features NeatReceipts as number one, with revenues of over $11.7 million. It will be interesting to see what they do this year now that they have entered the Mac universe.
Another company that could be on this list is ProfitPoint, a provider of gift and loyalty card services, which ranked 59th nationally in revenue growth rate.
Although listed as being in Tennessee, ProfitPoint apparently has its headquarters in Clifton Heights.
Here also are links to all companies listed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

It will be interesting to see what happens to Home Shopping Network (HSNIV) now that it is publically traded, after Malone and Diller sparred so much over its value. It is now trading at $12.61, giving it a market value of about $700 million.That seems to me to be a good bit less than what Diller thought it was worth.
