IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kareo, Inc., the cloud-based medical office software provider for small medical practices, announced today that the company has been named by Forbes as one of America's Most Promising Companies. Listed at number 58, Kareo is among the top 100 privately held, high-growth companies possessing compelling business models, quality management, growing teams, and supportive investors. 

"It is an honor to be named to this prestigious list comprised of some of the most dynamic companies in the U.S.," said Dan Rodrigues, founder and CEO of Kareo. "This achievement speaks to the commitment, focus, and success of the Kareo team in delivering solutions valued by small medical practices.

The company recently announced a $20.5 million round of funding, the introduction of Kareo Billing Services, a new full service option for small practice billing management, and the expansion of its leadership team with the hire of a Chief Marketing Officer.

Over the course of six months Forbes reviewed thousands of applications. The final assessment was based on growth in sales and hiring, quality of management team and investors, margins, market size and key partnerships. Forbes turned to CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data research firm specializing in assessing private companies, to refine the search.
