Red Herring Names DocuSign to "Red Herring 100"

We're very pleased to be named to the “Red Herring 100″ for excellence in entrepreneurship and innovation in North American technology companies. A list of 200 finalists were culled from a list of hundreds of candidates and last week, 100 were announced. We're proud to be named one of the year's most promising private technology ventures in North America.

The Red Herring editorial team deploys a detailed process to whittle down a pool of 1,000 eligible, promising companies to the 200 finalists and in a last round decided for the top 100 winners of this important North American award. Evaluations are made on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, innovation, management, global strategy and ecosystem integration. The Red Herring 100 North America award, open to private technology companies headquartered in North America, has been given to the top 100 tech companies based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition and financial health. During the several months leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the telecom, communications, security, Web 2.0, software, hardware, biotech and clean tech industries sent in their submissions to qualify for the award.

According to Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring, this was an especially competitive year - so many great companies were producing really innovative and amazing products.
