Intelius is one of the most successful ventures in the information commerce industry. Founded in January 2003, the public records company was able to achieve success by offering a wide range of indispensable information-based services. Intelius’ line of breakthrough services includes background checks, identity theft prevention services, as well as employment screening services.

Equipped with the latest technology, Intelius is capable of gathering information from an enormous base of publicly-available resources. The company then utilizes this information to produce panoramic profiles of myriad individuals. Intelius supplies critical information to its more than eight million customers. The company uses a highly-efficient proprietary technology that allows it to do background checks that cover more than 175 countries.

Recent surveys have shown that more and more people are relying on online means to do various things like finding a date and hiring contractors or nannies. Intelius was established to address this phenomenon. Founded by a group of technology experts headed by Naveen Jain, the company has now become one of the most successful companies in the IT industry. Due to the indispensability of its innovative products and services, the company now has a customer base of over eight million. Records have shown that a total 40% of the company’s customers have used Intelius services more than once. In addition to that, the company’s site also ranks among the top 100 most trafficked sites on the internet as reported by comScore/Media Metrix.

The accomplishments of the company do not stop there; it has also gotten the attention of several award-giving bodies. Last August 2008, the prestigious Washington CEO magazine had announced the company as the recipient of the Washington State’s 18th annual “100 Best Companies to Work For.”

Apart from its accomplishments in the area of technology, the company was also able to make a name for itself in Philanthropy. The Puget Sound Business Journal had included the company among its compilation of top 15 Corporate Philanthropists.
