Most Promising Emerging Enterprise

Last year, Lingham's company, incuBeta, won the South African Emerging Technology Top 100 (TT100) award for the Most Promising Emerging Enterprise and The Commission Junction Award for Innovation in the USA in 2004. The South African company has developed a range of world-class Web-based technologies that have caught the attention of major players in the global web-based commerce industry.

Since it's inception in 2003, incuBeta has expanded rapidly. While one of the major company strategies remains focused on online marketing for international clients, their highly innovative technology division is fast-becoming renowned for the success of their software and online products. In just 3 short years, incuBeta is already producing over $100m in online revenues for its clients through its advanced search engine technologies.

"Our mission at incuBeta," says Lingham "is to continuously improve the infrastructure for global online marketing and technology and expand search marketing into every corner of the globe." The company operates offices out of Woodland Hills, California & is establishing a UK office in May and already has clients in over 10 countries.
