Woohoo! Our plans for a new take on short-term lending have been commended by business experts once more. The entrepreneurial gurus at Startups.co.uk have placed Wonga in their Startups 100 list for 2008… In the top 20 actually! At this rate our highly buffed trophy cabinet will be groaning with silverware before we’ve even decided where to hang it. Many thanks guys – we’re thrilled to be acknowledged as one of the most exciting new business in Blighty right now.

Here’s a brief extract from their press release, which explains more: Startups 100 lists the most exciting and innovative emerging small companies predicted to become the big businesses of tomorrow. Companies were assessed on originality of concept; strength of business model; turnover; evidence of future revenues; proposition to investors; quality of management; and potential to disrupt existing markets.

“Web 2.0 start-ups bidding to become the next big internet super-brand featured prominently, while green and social enterprises also occupied a strong hold in a diverse line-up of businesses.”
