Palo Alto, CA - October 19, 2005 — Metreo, Inc., a leading provider of comprehensive pricing intelligence, optimization and execution solutions, has been named a Rising Star (#15) on the 2005 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology companies in North America. The company is also the third fastest-growing Rising Star winner in Silicon Valley. A special category, the Rising Star list recognizes 25 young, fast-growth companies. This is the second year that Metreo has earned the distinction as a Rising Star on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Rising Star Ranking.

Metreo CEO Daphne Carmeli cites the company's focused innovation along with accelerated demand for price optimization solutions as reasons for the company's tremendous revenue growth over the past three years. Carmeli said, "We offer a complete and proven price optimization solution and our customers continue to turn to us to help them improve their margins and revenue growth."

"It's not easy for a young company to get traction in the technology marketplace, let alone sustain such phenomenal revenue growth," said Mark A. Evans, national managing partner of Deloitte's Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group. "It's a credit to Metreo's leadership that they've managed to ramp up their business so quickly."

Rising Star Qualifications
A special category, the Rising Star list ranks 25 winners that have been in business less than five years, but at least three years. They are ranked based on percentage of growth in revenues over three years (2002 to 2004).

Entrants must also be public or private companies headquartered in North America, and be a "technology company," defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify.
