# 324
We found out last week that Doba has been included on the Inc. 500 list again this year.
We’re #324 on the list with a growth rate of almost 900% from 2004 to 2007.
Last year we were #23, and I’m way excited that after that period of truly explosive growth, we continued to grow enough for this year’s ranking.
Lots more work to do, however, so I’ll get back to it now.

Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year
A few weeks back, we found out that I was selected as a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the Utah region.
Last night was the finalist reception and I was able to meet quite a few of the judges, the sponsors, and the other finalists.
To all the other finalists I say good luck and congratulations! I am very proud to be included with the names/companies included in this year’s 25 finalists. It’s a list of incredibly talented and focused entrepreneurs, many of whom I know very well.
I’m honored to be able to represent Doba in this program. All credit goes to my family, Doba’s employees and their families, our vendors and advisory board members, and

- An antagonistic reaction to a trend, development, or event involving Doba.
- What happens if Doba doesn’t just stop it with all the awards and recognition: “The dobalash reached a new fervor with its recognition by Utah Business as Best Companies to Work For.â€
- The breakdown that will happen if Doba lets even a tiny bit of this go to our heads.
Doba was one of the companies that Utah Business has recognized as a 2007 Best Company to Work For (me, Blaine Nielsen, and Ashley Schaumburg were in the pic on the cover in front of our Doba Green wall). I have to admit I was impressed with the level of detail and the sophistication that Utah Business employs in the process of

# 6 – a.k.a. Last Place
When it rains it pours.
Today, Deloitte announced their annual Technology Fast 500.
The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 is a ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth over five years (2002–2006).
Doba is listed at spot #6 in the 2007 rankings.
You can read more about this year’s companies and see the full list by reading this PDF: 2007 Deloitte Technology Fast 500
And I have a bad feeling that the upwelling of pride that Doba caused in Ricky Bobby yesterday is completely undone with this horrible showing. I’m sorry Ricky for coming in last place. We’ll do better next time.

Today is the very day we started Doba 5 years ago. October 22, 2002. So today was a good day to attend the Mountain West Capital Network (MWCN) Utah 100 event in Salt Lake City.
The main purpose of this event is learning the rankings of the top 100 fastest growing private and public companies in Utah. This morning, we found out that Doba was ranked the #1 fastest growing company in Utah based on percentage revenue increases from 2002 through 2006.
Here’s a photo of me and the Doba executive team with the event’s keynote, Utah Governor Huntsman. We even convinced the Governor to give us a big #1 sign.
When I posted about Doba ranking #23 on the 2007 Inc 500, I listed

#23
I posted back in May about Doba’s growth from 2003 to 2006 of over 3,200%.
Last week, we found out that Doba has been recognized as the 23rd fastest-growing private company in the United States. The 2007 Inc. 500, as revealed in the September issue of Inc. magazine (on newsstands August 28 – October 2), also ranks Doba 2nd in the category of fastest growing software companies, and 5th in growth among companies intending to go public.
When I look back at the past almost 5 years, I always knew we were growing fast. But I didn’t realize how fast. Being ranked in the top 25 of the fastest growing private companies in the country, being the 2nd fastest growing software company in the
