FireSocket tops the list of the fastest-growing companies
in Orange County, as recognized by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP at an award event held Tuesday
evening at the Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin.
The "Orange County Technology Fast 50," an annual award program, ranks technology, media,
telecommunications and life sciences companies located in the Orange County area by revenue
growth over five years.
"We congratulate the winners of the Orange County Technology Fast 50 and the recipient of our
Rising Star award," said Rick Rayson, managing partner of the Orange County office. "These thriving,
successful enterprises are a testament to the ongoing growth and health of the Orange County
business community."
Winners are selected based on percentage revenue growth over five years from 2001 to 2005. To be
considered, Technology Fast 50 entrants must: have operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001
and at least $5,000,000 in 2005; be headquartered in Orange County; own proprietary technology or
proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of its operating revenues, or
devote a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using
