Winner of Red Herring 100 Global Award

Winner of Red Herring 100 Asia Award

Since 1996, technology industry executives, investors, and strategists have valued the Red Herring 100 lists as an instrument for discovering and advocating the most promising private ventures from around the world.

Red Herring 100 Awards highlight exciting startups around the world and we are humbly proud to be awarded both the prestigious Red Herring 100 Asia and Red Herring 100 Global Awards in 2007.

The Red Herring Awards is renowned for its competitive process and comprehensive evaluation criteria such as financial performance, innovation, management, global strategy, and ecosystem integration. Red Herring 100 Global Award serves as a yardstick for selecting the most promising rising star.

These awards are once-in-a-life-time honors as no former 100 winner is eligible to apply again. Red Herring believes that “Once a Red Herring 100 Winner, always a Red Herring 100 winner.” We hold this belief dearly in our heart too.

Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring said, “Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work. Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat.”
