"For 20 years, the Deloitte Fast 500 rankings have honored the innovation that is part of these companies' DNA," added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging growth company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "We're glad to be serving these high-growth companies, and helping the technology sector recognize the great strides and transformation these companies are making in their respective areas."

"Swagbucks has built a strong and successful business in a relatively short period of time," said Founder and President Josef Gorowitz. "Since our inception, we've awarded over $75 Million of rewards to our valued members and we have been profitable since 2010. In 2013 alone, we had $53 million in revenues."
