Richard D. Hanks, president of Mindshare Technologies was named to the 2006 vSpring Capital Top 100 Entrepreneurs today. The list, also known as the v100, is composed of people with ties to Utah who are considered most likely to lead a successful start venture in the next 5-7 years in the information technology or biotechnology sector as a Chief Executive Officer or a Chief Technical officer.

Nominations are taken from members of the Utah business community. The nominees are then invited to participate on an online poll, voting on the 10 people they feel most likely to meet the criteria for v100 inclusion. The top 100 voted on by their peers are then elected to the list.

"It is an honor to be voted a member of the v|100," said Mr. Hanks, "the list recognizes innovative and forward thinking companies, which is a real vote of confidence for our company and our products."

Mindshare provides real-time customer and employee satisfaction solutions for businesses across 25 industry verticals.
