SORRENTO VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. magazine has published their 2013 500 | 5000 List of the Fastest Growing Companies in America and has ranked San Diego company, iMatrix, on the list of companies. iMatrix is a privately held internet marketing company founded in 2002 and owned by husband and wife team, Asaf and Yamia Benhaim. The Inc. 500 list was first published in 1982 and recognizes the fastest growing privately held companies in the United States. For the past thirty-one years, Inc. Magazine has been reviewing and honoring private companies that are on track for fast growth.
Located in the tech-center of San Diego, Sorrento Valley, this is the company's first appearance on the Inc. 5000 list. iMatrix was launched by Asaf and Yamia Benhaim in their 800 square foot apartment in 2002. When the company started out, Yamia was selling websites and Asaf was managing the website designs. Since 2002, the company has expanded into multiple verticals, partnered with resellers, grown to house 130 on-site employees, and is projecting $14 million dollars in revenue in 2013.
"Our company comes from very humble beginnings and took a lot of personal investment to get off the ground and into the company you see today," stated Asaf Benhaim, CEO and Co-Founder of iMatrix. "The bulk of our growth has been very aggressive and taken place since 2011. "
The Inc. 5000 announcement follows another important milestone for iMatrix: a Google Adwords Certified Partnership, which was secured in June of this year. This partnership allows iMatrix to leverage resources directly from Google to ensure that clients receive the most up to date paid advertising service available. The combination of these two honors adds up to a promising future for this progressive company.
Benhaim went on to say, "We have outlined very aggressive growth strategy for the company and have taken the strategic steps necessary to reach those goals. At the end of the day, we strive to create innovative services for our clients that will set them up for success."
In 2011, iMatrix had 30 full-time employees on payroll, which has grown to over 130 employees who work out of the San Diego headquarters for iMatrix. Additionally, iMatrix has averaged an annual revenue growth rate of nearly 45% over the last 6 years, attesting to the quality of the marketing services offered.
Both Yamia and Asaf stated they were thrilled with getting on the Inc. 5000 List and hope to inspire other entrepreneurs.
