They say that you can judge a person (or organization) by the company they keep. Well, I think we are in very good company! Last night we were named to the Red Herring Top 100 North American companies. This is an annual listing that recognizes the most promising startups, based on their technological innovation, intellectual property, business model and a number of other quantitative and qualitative characteristics. We now share this honor with a few other notable companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Salesforce.com, Palo Alto Networks, Skype, YouTube and eBay. Not bad company, if I do say so myself…
It is truly an honor to be recognized for your achievements and we are very proud anytime an industry association bestows on us an award. We are pleased to add this award to our growing trophy case that currently includes:
- Red Herring Top 100 Winner
