When Business Insider recently released its 20 Silicon Valley Startups to Watch, we were curious how Google Apps ranked among these businesses’ IT solutions of choice. The answer turned out to be: really well. We found 97% of these companies from the last two years were running on Google Apps.
We built Google Apps to help businesses improve how they work together with the power of the web, so we were thrilled to learn that the hottest startups in a community as dynamic as Silicon Valley are running on Apps.
Of course, Silicon Valley isn’t the only tech hot spot. There are tons of cities booming with startups and other small and medium-sized businesses, and they all have one thing in common: whether in Boston, Chicago, Delhi, London or none of the above, they can benefit from taking a 100% web approach. With Google Apps you can focus on your business, not your IT.
Over the next few weeks, we’d like to introduce you to a few businesses that have gone Google in Silicon Valley. These are companies that believe in thinking big and growing fast, and they have adopted Google Apps to help them do both. Together they embody a lot of qualities that we think you’ll find interesting, and we hope you find their stories inspirational.

Wow. So 97% of these companies also cannot use Google Plus. You guys might want to get on that (or at least feed some information to my fellow aggravated Google Apps users)...

Yeah, but the data is inaccurate. Check out gappsconfig.com listed in Beijing. That domain doesn't even exist, yet you list it. Google fail...
How can you get 97% with only 20 companies? Wouldn't it be either 95% or 100%?
20 companies per year, times 2 years equals 40 companies. 39 is 97.5% of 40. I then assume they rounded down. Word problems are fun!
It is the last two years and not just the 20 for this year.
It's actually that plus a little more: It's 40 from the last two years, but then one company was on the list both years. So that's a total of 39 :)
