America’s Fastest-Growing Telecom Company

No. 1 in Telecommunications ClearAccess 3,460.3% Three-Year Growth Revenue: $5.7 Million Employees: 30 Founder: Ken Hood Founded: 2005 Overall RANK: No. 66 Vancouver, Wash. clearaccess.com Ken Hood spent seven years in Silicon Valley and held high-level management positions at companies including 3Com. A trend became increasingly apparent to him: The number of consumer electronics in the average home that required an Internet connection was growing, but direct support from service providers wasn’t keeping up. So, in 2005, he set out on his own and started ClearAccess to assist broadband service providers, including telcos and cable operators, with customer and device management.

To pass time, the couple crafted a list of life goals—100 of them. A family with four children. Check. A beagle named Beau. Half-check (the family named him Boo). And for Andy, the successful launch and sale of two businesses. A few months later, Monin co-founded his first business, whose software helps companies audit phone bills and uncover errors. In 2003, an investor bought out Monin, and in 2005, he was on to his next start-up, launching Vendormate out of his attic. The company makes software that performs due diligence on, and registers, vendors for hospitals and other health care facilities. With 1,000 hospitals under contract, Monin now has his sights set on the financial services industry. That second sale may not be far off.
