Orbit of Intelius
Intelius’ business revolves around personal public intelligences, data on other people retrieved through public documents like tax filings, real estate deeds, dockets, telephone listings and the like. Such papers offer staggeringly copious insights into people, their habits, and their activities.
When people know more about others, they become something close to all-knowing. One knows whom to hire, whom to befriend, etc. That’s why eight million customers find themselves in the orbit of Intelius and its services.
In January of 2003, Naveen Jain, a former senior executive at Microsoft, decided to cash in on this phenomenon and built Intelius, Inc. Jain, the company’s CEO and President, effectively oversees a pioneer in the industry of online intelligence. He has steered the company through numerous awards, accolades, and successes.
In New York City’s American Business Awards, Intelius bested other startups all over the US to become 2006’s Best New Company. It has now become one of the fastest-growing businesses in the field of technology.
Based in Bellevue, Intelius is positioned as the 8th fastest-growing firm in Washington, 127th overall in North America, according to Deloitte & Touche. In fact, the company ranks in Inc. Magazine’s annual list of the 500 fastest-growing companies in the US. Washington CEO Magazine once named it among the state’s top 150 companies.
Its services are winners, too. IDWatch, Intelius’ much-admired range of identity theft protection products, won the Washington Software Alliance’s Industry Achievement Award for Best Consumer Product in 2006.
IDWatch is only one among many other products offered by Intelius. The company also renders such services as background checks, criminal checks, employment screening, tenancy screening, people search, date checks, reverse phone lookups, reverse cellphone lookups, email searches, death record lookups, marriage record lookups, property reviews, neighborhood watches, sex offender checks, and many more.
Intelius sources the data for all these services from approximately 20 billion public records in the US. With these, Intelius has people’s peace of mind spinning rightly on its axis.
