The top information business company Intelius Inc, together with co-founder Naveen and wife Anu Jain, has been partnering with various nonprofit organizations from the Eastside. For both the company and the Jains, giving back to the community is among their main goals.

Intellius Inc provides companies and individual consumers with critical information that empower them to perform wise choices. It has formed solutions and services for better security and safety. At present, the company is serving more than 10 million customers who utilize the information-based services to safeguard their businesses, assets and those people who are closest to them.

Due to the reputation it has built and the indispensability of its innovative services, it has been gaining a huge number of visitors. In fact, according to comScore/Media Metrix, the company is considered as among the top 100 trafficked websites on the Net.

Intelius, under the leadership of its current president and chief executive officer, Naveen Jain, it has supported numerous nonprofit aid groups, particularly the Overlake Service League. The organization is devoted to serving homes situated in the Bellevue School district. As a result, the League honored the company as among its main sponsors. It was also recognized at the League’s 10th Annual “Step Up to the Plate” Benefit Luncheon held last March of this year.

In addition to the acknowledgements it has earned, Intellius has also attained a new record in corporate giving, contributing a total of $210,000 last year. The donation was shared by numerous non-local and local aid organizations.

The company’s charity giving mission is focused on causes related to health care, the youth, family and education.

Furthermore, Intelius Inc implemented a worker matching program as well as a paid leave incentive that allows employees spend their time doing volunteer work at eligible foundations.

Most of us know the story of Bill Gates and Microsoft, and are even quite familiar with Steve Jobs’ success story. But do you know how Virgin’s Richard Branson became the business tycoon that he is today? Did you know that he is dyslexic? Dyslexia is a form of neurological disorder that makes reading, writing, and spelling words hard for those it afflicts. It is a lifelong disease that can only be countered with special education. Richard Branson remembers being embarrassed in school because he had a difficult time reading and memorizing. An IQ test he took failed to measure his ambition and ability to connect with people. Branson took his dyslexia as a challenge and never stopped aiming for success. He began planning his business track when he was only 17. With determination and a positive attitude, Branson was able to put up his own company. Today, aside from Virgin Airlines and Virgin Cola, he has more than 100 companies to his name. Another success story worth mentioning is that of Erin Brokovich’s. This former law firm file clerk investigated, filed, and won a case against Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) who was responsible for the contaminated drinking water of the residents of Hinkley, California. The case was worth billions of dollars. Though she was fighting a big company, Brokovich never flinched. She is now a motivational speaker and is president of her own consulting firm, Brokovich Research and Consulting. People who are faced with unusual challenges should never give up. One failure does not set the tone for the rest of your life. Like Branson and Brokovich, we must never give up even if the odds are against us, especially when we know we are on the right path.
