CapitalStream, a Seattle-based provider of commercial finance automation technology for banks, financial institutions and manufacturers, today announced it has been ranked the 39th fastest growing technology company in Washington state by the Deloitte & Touche Fast 50 Program. CapitalStream has earned placement on Deloitte & Touche’s Fast 50 list for the past four years.

Deloitte & Touche’s 2001 Fast 50 ranks the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in the state of Washington. This ranking was based on five-year percentage revenue growth from 1996-2000. In order to qualify for an award, companies must have been in business for at least five years and must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 1996 and $1,000,000 in 2000; must be public or private companies headquartered in Washington State; and function as a "technology company." Technology companies are defined as businesses that produce technology, manufacture a technology product, or devote a high percentage of effort to research and development of technology.

"We’re very proud to have again earned this significant ranking in a list that notes some of Washington’s leading private companies for their growth and success," said Stephen Campbell, CapitalStream’s president and CEO. "Our own success comes from the fact that CapitalStream remains consistently committed to providing the financial services and leasing industries with innovative technology solutions to conduct business more efficiently and more effectively."
