It was recently revealed that despite the rocky economic climate of the past year, Intelius – a leading information commerce company that empowers consumers and businesses with information to make intelligent decisions about personal safety and security – increased its charitable giving in 2009, setting a new corporate giving record for the company.
The seven-year-old Intelius gave over $360,000 to more than a dozen local and national nonprofit organizations in 2009, with nearly $260,000 of that amount going to Washington State nonprofit organizations. With just 260 employees, 2009 donations set a record for the company.
Intellius was founded by Naveen Jain in January 2003 as an information commerce company whose services include background checks, pre-employment screening, criminal checks and an award-winning identity theft prevention service.
In the seven years since it was founded Intellius has become one of the Top 100 most trafficked business sites on the web, offering crucial information for a myriad of commercial applications.
It is no surprise given the business acumen and generosity of the CEO Naveen Jain, that he learnt his trade under Bill Gates at Microsoft, where he became a senior executive before launching his own InfoSpace business in 1996.
Since then Jain has moved from strength to strength, working seven days a week, often for eighteen hours a day, it is no fluke that his businesses have become so successful.
