A2Zmoonlighter.com Becomes a Rising Star!
Pittsburgh Technology Council Names A2Zmoonlighter.com "Rising Stars" Category Leader for Annual Tech 50 Awards

Pittsburgh, PA - September 27, 2002 - A2Zmoonlighter.com, an online marketplace for freelancers looking for work and employers seeking help, today announced that the company was named the "Rising Stars" category leader for the Pittsburgh Technology Council's Fifth Annual Tech 50 awards. The Award ceremony was attended by nearly 500 people and took place at the Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh.

To be named the "Rising Stars" category leader, A2Zmoonlighter.com had to demonstrate that its products and services offer unique or promising technologies and that the company has the potential to be one of the future economic drivers of the 13-county, southwestern Pennsylvania region. Only companies less than three years old are allowed to apply for the "Rising Stars" category.

One of the reasons why A2Zmoonlighter.com was named a "Rising Star" is due to its ever-growing client base. This October, the company's registered member numbers reached over 250,000 professionals and over 17,000 employers. Co-Founder and CEO, Inder Guglani, commented that, "using the Internet to connect with freelance talent and independent contractors is a trend that appears to be gaining momentum. We are clearly one of the biggest beneficiaries of this trend." His "Rising Star" status? Just a pleasant part of the growth for a hard working website.

How did A2Zmoonlighter.com earn the "Rising Star" Award? Each year, the Pittsburgh Technology Council honors 50 technology leaders in the southwestern Pennsylvania region. Out of those 50 companies, five in five categories are selected as category leaders. In addition to the "Rising Stars" category, the other four categories include: Advanced Manufacturing, Biomedical, Service Providers, and Information Technology. This year, category leaders were selected based upon five evaluative areas: advancement in product development or sales success, financial strength, corporate citizenship, job growth and retention, and innovative products or technology.
