Aggregate Knowledge Named “One to Watch” by Dealmaker Media
CEO Paul Martino Selected to Provide Insight on Discovery at Momentum Growth Conference
San Mateo, CA—October 2, 2007—Aggregate Knowledge, the leader in the new category of online Discovery, today announced that it has been named a One to Watch company by Dealmaker Media, producer of the Momentum Growth Conference. The conference, which brings together key industry players in the high-tech sector, will be held October 4, 2007, in Mountain View, Calif.
Aggregate Knowledge also announced that its CEO and founder, Paul Martino, has been selected to speak on a panel titled “What Advertisers Want, What Businesses Need” at 3:40 p.m. on October 4, 2007. The panel will examine changing online advertising models and metrics and will be moderated by Mark Glaser of MediaShift, a digital media blog on PBS.org.
"We are honored to be named as a company to watch at the Momentum Growth Conference," said Paul Martino, Aggregate Knowledge CEO and founder. "The award recognizes the momentum that Aggregate Knowledge has in the fast-emerging Discovery category and our success in getting more than 50 million people per month to the products they want to buy and the content they want to view."
The companies selected as Ones to Watch are deemed by Dealmaker Media to be at a key inflection point in their growth, are growing faster than their competitors and are expected to shake up the market. They were selected by Dealmaker Media’s editorial team and the Momentum Growth conference selection committee composed of bankers, industry executives, influencers, analysts and venture capitalists. Out of the 30 rising stars, nine of them will be presenting onstage, including Aggregate Knowledge.
Aggregate Knowledge is powering Discovery for some of the world’s largest retail and media sites including Overstock.com and WashingtonPost.com. Discovery moves beyond Internet search by harnessing the collective power of web users to guide one another toward the products and content they will find both relevant and interesting. Discovery provides a more natural way for people to find the things they love on the Internet, which helps drive sales, conversions and page views on retail and media sites.
The Momentum Growth conference, produced by the same organization that hosts the Under the Radar conference, recognizes the key players in the high-tech industry that will dominate the next stage of the growth cycle. It is a gathering of leading companies, influencers and media in the world of technology.
