Mindjet Recognized by Inc. Magazine as One of the Fastest Growing Private Companies

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 15, 2007— Mindjet, the global leader of software for visualizing and using information, today announced that it has made the first ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. With an impressive three-year growth of over 150 percent, Mindjet ranked 2,334 on the overall list. Among the Inc. 5000 companies, Mindjet is the 7^th largest private software company in the Silicon Valley area.

"We are moving the needle - tapping into the passion and performance of our company and our rapidly growing customer base to reach new audiences and achieve record results," said Scott Raskin, CEO of Mindjet. "The Inc. 5000 recognition represents the strong momentum we've been able to amass as nearly ten thousand people are visiting our site everyday, existing enterprise customers are adding licenses, and individuals are spreading the word to work teams. With over 970,000 licenses sold globally, we are reaching new levels of penetration into the enterprise and the global workforce."

Mindjet attributes its consistent quarter-over-quarter growth to the strength of its market-leading product MindManager and the newest release MindManager Pro 7 for Windows and MindManager 7 Mac for Apple. Based in San Francisco, CA, Mindjet is considered the 18th fastest growing private software company in the Bay Area according to Inc.'s rankings. With a large customer base of extremely devoted product evangelists and at least 85 percent of the Fortune 100, adopters are using MindManager's easy-to-use interface for visually managing ideas, information, and processes in a limitless variety of applications.

Other recent highlights include:

• Nearly 100,000 licenses sold so far this year
• Selection by CRN as a Top 100 Emerging Tech Vendor.
• Recognition by the San Francisco Business Times as one of the largest private companies in the San Francisco Bay Area.

• CIO Magazine coverage around how Healthwise keeps project development teams on the same page with MindManager. August 13, 2007

The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 500 list, measures revenue growth from 2003 through 2006. To qualify, companies must be U.S.-based and privately held, independent -- not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies -- as of December 31, 2006, and have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2003, and $2 million in 2006.
