Fast Companies: Gameloft, Spreadshirt, lliotec And Others

BusinessWeek has published this year's fastest growing company ranking (includes both jobs and sales figures in the calculations) Out of the 500 fastest growing companies, a couple of them are tech ventures we recognized, such as mobile games developer Gameloft (1), online t-shirt personalization startup, Spreadshirt, which was number 5, while three solar energy companies Illiotec, Q-Cells and Conergy, made it into the top 40, along with Sophos, a security software firm.

Italy's Ferretti Yachts Also Made The Top Ten - It Isn't Tech But It Is Nice Design

Interestingly, Sophos is the only firm that raised VC money. It is backed by 3i. Surely some other VC-backed ventures should have made this list, or not? Anyway, hats off to these companies, especially Spreadshirt and Iliotec, both of which were started without venture capital, or even rich angel investors.
