Ten Silicon Valley companies made this year's list of the 500 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S., published by Inc. magazine this month. They range in size from from $2.4 million business products firm Infofree.com to $196.7 million Silver Springs Network, which went public in March.
Unlike the Business Journal's annual Fast Private ranking, which measures three years of growth, Inc. magazine does its list based on four years of revenue change.
At the top of the local group is Bluekai, the Cupertino advertising and marketing firm whose revenue grew by 9,245 percent to $28.6 million, landing it at No. 21.
